Connections say Lostintranslation will be dropped in trip for the Denman Chase at Newbury in the hope of getting back on track.
The eight-year-old failed to finish when last seen in the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day.
It was the second year running that he has been pulled up in the race and he is starting to earn a reputation for failing to fire in big events.
With that in mind, Joe Tizzard, son and assistant to trainer Colin, admits they are targeting the Denman Chase as they seek that winning feeling once again.
Tizzard said: “Lostintranslation burst a blood vessel in the King George, which was reported. There is normally something underlying when they break a blood vessel, because it puts them under pressure.
“He will have his flu jab now and we will try and get him right for the Denman.
“We want to get another spin into him, and he loves it around Newbury, and the ground at that time of year is usually decent.”
