Load to wait for Fairyhouse

Published: 10 March 2010

Henry de Bromhead's talented youngster Loosen My Load will not be making the trip for next week's Cheltenham Festival.

The dual bumper winner has won two of his three starts over obstacles to date and was last seen landing a Grade Two event at Prestbury Park in November. De Bromhead feels his charge is not yet in peak condition as he returns from a break and the six-year-old will instead target the spring Festivals at home.

"Loosen My Load is fine but we've decided not to go to Cheltenham with him this year as he isn't ready," he said.
