Colin Tizzard reports Cue Card to be none the worse after Thursday's disappointing effort in the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.

The 12-year-old was pulled up before the 12th fence by Paddy Brennan after leading through the early stages in the two-mile-five-furlong contest.

Connections had indicated the Ryanair Chase was likely to be Cue Card's Festival swansong and while a trip to Aintree has been mentioned as a possibility, Tizzard and his team will take stock before making any further plans.

He told Racing UK: "He's absolutely fine, ever so fresh and there you are. He just didn't like the heavy ground - he's getting old now. T here's nothing physical anyway.

"There's no plans, well get this week out of the way then we will make plan."
