Moscow Flyer is to miss the Stan James King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on St Stephen's Day.
The great two-miler, winner of a thrilling race for the William Hill Tingle Creek Trophy at Sandown last Saturday, will instead stay in Ireland for the Paddy Power Dial-a-Bet Chase at Leopardstown on December 27th.
"Had he been beaten on Saturday I think we would have gone to Kempton," said trainer Jessica Harrington today.
Moscow Flyer was 5-2 with Paddy Power for the King George.
