Jack Kennedy said Delta Work and Gerri Colombe were the two horses he was most annoyed about missing at Aintree this week after failing to recover from a broken leg in time for the Grand National meeting. 

The 23-year-old jockey is confident of being fully fit for Punchestown later this month, however. 

Kennedy has not ridden since early January after a fall from Top Bandit in a novice chase won by Appreciate It left him with a fracture of his tibia and fibula. He was hoping to make it back for Cheltenham, but the festival came too soon, and so has Aintree.
