Lossiemouth withdrawal: should be there be a rules change?

Speaking from Punchestown, Gary O'Brien asks the question after the withdrawal of Lossiemouth from the Unibet Morgiana Hurdle and her anticipated high-profile match-up with State Man. The mare was ruled out on Saturday morning because of a stone bruise, although our presenter acknowledges that there would have been a prior wide-held assumption that Lossiemouth was declared for the race in the event anything happened to stablemate and Champion Hurdler State Man. Should there be more flexibility in the rules to reflect such situations?
