Flyer to miss King George Chase

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.

“Had he been beaten on Saturday I think we would have gone to Kempton,” said trainer Jessica Harrington today.

Moscow Flyer was 5-1 with Coral for the King George.
