The Dorset-trained nine-year old won his first four starts over fences, including a three-length victory over Cue Card in the King George VI Chase on Boxing Day.

"The vet scanned him this morning and it's a slight tendon tear," said trainer Colin Tizzard.

"We've seen it at every yard and it happens every year."

The 34-year-old suffered a serious head injury in the shooting on Athena Avenue, Crookhorn, on 13 February. 

Two Surrey men, aged 30 and 21, were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, but have since been released without charge.

As work continues to revamp Dorchester's old court building where the Tolpuddle Martyrs faced trial in 1834, here's some more information about the six farm labourers who formed the first trade union:

• Farmhand George Loveless and five fellow workers; his brother James Loveless, James Brine, James Hammett, John Standfield and Thomas Standfield, met under a tree in 1834 to form a "friendly society" to protest against their meagre pay of six shillings a week
• They were arrested for the crime of swearing an oath of secrecy and sentenced to seven years' transportation to an Australian penal colony
• After the sentence was pronounced, popular opinion swung in support of the men. There was a demonstration in London and an 800,000-strong petition was delivered to Parliament 
• The government eventually relented and the men returned home with free pardons 
• The village hosts the annual Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival each July in their honour

Work to transform the court building where the Tolpuddle Martyrs faced trial in 1834 into a tourist attraction is "on track", a council has said.

The basement of Dorchester's Grade-I listed Shire Hall has been excavated and the results of an archaeologist's report are awaited, West Dorset District Council said.

A spokesman said some old bottles and keys (pictured below) had been uncovered "but nothing of any museum grade interest".

"We are on track to finish all the work to the building by the end of January 2018 and to open to the public in March 2018," he added. 

The trial of the six farm labourers is perhaps the best-known case in the early history of trade unions.
