An infection apparently. Depends how quickly he can resume training. 6 weeks to go so could be OK by the big day but JP looks after his horses and I doubt they'll risk him if he's not 100% ready.
A non-respiratory infection so less likely to stop him being ready by 5 April - which would save a re-run of the stats for the others But, if he doesn't get a decent performance in in time, his stats come up short off topweight.
Well, Ilikedwayurthinkin was going nicely enough in perfect position on the rail up front but hit a wall about 4f from home in the 33.5f Eider (PU). Doesn't necessarily mean Inothewayurthinkin or Limerick Lace won't get 34f of course. But, interesting nonetheless.
Nick Rockett wins but Intense Raffles just 0.75L behind and, at the weights, his connections and backers will be delighted. Giving the winner 3lbs today, he'll be in receipt of 12lbs from him on 5 April. Even so, based on his pedigree, my model rates him minor place potential at best at Aintree. Minella Cocooner, who will be 6lbs better off with Nick Rockett on 5 April, ran a nice enough prep in 4th, 8L adrift, though the market reaction is to ease him to 33s. Tapped for toe down the straight, the extra mile will play to his strengths and the run confirms his GN Winning stat profile, according to my model, assuming the GN weights don't rise.

Has to be a niggle presumably and, if so, I'm afraid that cooks his stats goose for 5 April.
Cashed out my interest.

PS Cheers for your comment re my haplotype analysis on the GN Bores forum.
