‘Flat’ Un De Sceaux to miss Tingle Creek

Ante-post favourite Un De Sceaux will not run in the Betfair Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on Saturday, with trainer Willie Mullins describing his star two-miler as a “little flat”.

The Arkle Trophy winner could instead reappear at Leopardstown’s Christmas Festival.

The seven-year-old is unbeaten in his completed starts over fences, his only reverse being when he fell at Thurles on his chasing debut.
