Fergal O'Brien is to give Bradley a break after his horse put in disappointing performances in his last two starts.
The Cheltenham trainer feels Bradley has been feeling the effects of a hard race when second to subsequent Welsh National hero Monbeg Dude at his local course in November.
Fifth to Master Overseer on his return there last month, the nine-year-old was pulled up in the Betfred Classic Chase at Warwick on Saturday.
"We haven't found a whole lot wrong with him. He probably had a very hard race behind Monbeg Dude and it has left its mark," said O'Brien.
"He's never been a fan of that ground but he has always gone on it before until the last twice and he probably just had enough of it.
"We are going to give him a good break and see how we go.
"We'll bring him back in the spring. There are plenty of long-distance races for him.
"Whether we go to Cheltenham or not, I don't know."
