Trainer Mark Bradstock's wife, Sara, has revealed that "nothing is set in stone" over when Coneygree will be fit to resume his career.

Coneygree's career is not under threat but the Cheltenham Gold Cup winner could be out for the rest of the season due to injury.

The eight-year-old gelding became the first novice for 41 years to win the Gold Cup back in March, but missed the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury last month after suffering an injury during a winning return at Sandown.

Trainer Mark Bradstock's wife, Sara, said Coneygree may have to wait until next season for his next race.

She is quoted by the Racing Post as saying: "He's definitely going to be back [racing], we know [the injury's] not career-threatening.

"It could be season-threatening, but nothing is set in stone."
