Jack Kennedy partnered Minella Indo to glory at Cheltenham
Cheltenham Gold Cup hero Minella Indo has been ruled out of the Ladbrokes Punchestown Gold Cup on Wednesday with a bruised foot.
Henry de Bromhead was forced to pull the plug on his intended seasonal swansong when he discovered the problem on Monday.
