Willie Mullins has confirmed that due to leg injury Flat Out will miss out on the sidelines for the remainder of the season.
Despite falling in the Frank Ward Solicitors Arkle Novice Chase at Leopardstown on Sunday, the six-year-old was still considered to be one of the leading contenders for the Irish Independent Arkle Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.
Mullins told the Irish Times: "He has a little chip fracture on a hind leg and is out for the season."
A routine veterinary inspection after his fall down confirms that he had sustained a hind leg injury when unseating Emmett Mullins at the second last fence.
