Weird Al will miss Wednesday's RSA Chase after suffering a leg injury.

The seven-year-old suffered a suspected fracture of his off-fore cannon bone whilst training at Ian Williams' Alvechurch gallops.

Williams said: "He has a potential stress fracture of his cannonbone and he will have an MRI scan next week which should confirm the injury.

"I have never been so devastated about a horse before and I'm mortified for the owners. This wasn't any race meeting, it was Cheltenham.
"He was to have gone there for the RSA in an exceptional year with an excellent chance in my book.

"We still have him and thankfully the prognosis from our team of vets is very good."
