The former Gordon Elliot-trained gelding’s long unbeaten 12-race win streak came to a devastating end as he crashed out in the early stages in the Marsh back in March, before pulling up at the Punchestown Festival behind Colreevy and Monkfish.
But connections have provided a positive update in the aftermath ahead of the winter spell, saying surgery on the son of Muhtathir for a chipped joint had gone well.
Speaking to Racing TV, Richardson said: “Everything has been going well since surgery and he’s enjoying his recuperation.
“He’s fresh and well, as far as we know, and we’re looking forward to Henry building him up for another exciting campaign.
“We don’t really know when he might be starting off as, unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get over there for a while, but I am hoping to get there soon which I’m looking forward to.
“Richard Thompson is very involved and really enjoyed that part of the business with his father and he will be instrumental in taking it forward.”
The stud farm, often more associated with the flat, have enjoyed plenty of success since reverting to the National Hunt sphere, owning plenty of other top-class individuals including Ferny Hollow, Sir Gerhard, and Allaho.
Now stable-mate’s, the aforementioned seven-year-old Envoi Allen features in the top five of the Cheltenham Gold Cup market for next season’s renewal alongside A Plus Tard, who finished second in the race six months ago.
