Un De Sceaux could be Ascot bound
Un De Sceaux could return to Britain for the Sodexo Clarence House Chase, according to jockey Ruby Walsh.
Willie Mullins' eight-year-old got the better of Sire De Grugy in a thrilling battle to land the Beffair Tingle Creek at Sandown on Saturday, his fifth victory at Grade One level.
He is entered in the Paddy Power Cashcard Chase at Leopardstown later this month but Walsh is not sure if he will be ready for the December 27 feature and has raised the possibility of him defending his Clarence House Chase crown at Ascot on January 21.
"I'm sure he is entered at Christmas. He had a plenty hard enough race for his first run of the season and whether he turns out that quick only time will tell," Walsh told Racing UK.
"He won at Ascot last year and I'm sure going back there wouldn't be out of the question.
"We know he gets further so stepping up in trip won't be a problem but ground will be the deciding factor in that."
