Get Me Out Of Here taken out of County Hurdle

GET ME OUT OF HERE was on Saturday taken out of the Vincent O'Brien County Hurdle, with connections intent on concentrating on the Spinal Research Supreme Novices' Hurdle.

Get Me Out Of Here had been general 8-1 third favourite for the County, while also coming out of that race at the six-day forfeit stage were Harry Tricker and Ronaldo Des Mottes, who were both 14-1.

Qaspal, who won Saturday's Imperial Cup, will carry a 5lb penalty sh0uld he bid to bag the £75,000 bonus on offer by Paddy Power for winning at both Sandown and Cheltenham. He is entered in both the County Hurdle and the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle and the penalty could help him to sneak into one of the festival races.

Quantitativeeasing, who had been second favourite at a general 9-1 for the Martin Pipe hurdle, has been scratched, as he has other options at the Cheltenham Festival.

Bygones Of Brid, who was not quoted by all bookmakers, has also been scratched from the race.

In the handicap chase at the festival on the Friday, the Johnny Henderson Grand Annual Chase, all the market leaders have stood their ground, led by Tataniano.
