I wouldn't rule him out just yet from challenging around Kempton in December. It's a flat 3m and its well known that some horses have been able to get that trip but failed at a similar distance on other tracks.

We will find out in due course if something did go amiss, but to me it just looked like he was out there for a pipe opener and then when the gas was low then just coast home. Ground wasn't the best either.

Cool

Certainly wasn't the best comeback. Went out like a light, perhaps suggests there is a problem. Bleeding?

If you look in his previous form you'll see he has plenty form on softer going. And indeed at shorter trips.

More I look at this I think the RP chase was a one off. Probably not a coincidence that AP was up for his two wins last season and his good run at Aintree.
