Superstar Grade 1 hero and one of Britain's best hopes in the Grand National, L'Homme Presse, has been ruled out of the £1million race

He was forced to miss the Gold Cup with a small setback picked up at Ascot.

And connections have run out of time to get him ready for the world's most famous race, to be run on Saturday week.

Andy Edwards, who owns the ten-year-old alongside Pam Sharman, Ray Sharman and Peter and Patricia Pink, said: “Sadly L’Homme Presse will not run in the Grand National.
