Compliance To Miss Christmas Fare

In Compliance, who lowered the colours of War Of Attrition in the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase last time out, is unlikely to run over the Christmas period.

Michael O'Brien's six-year-old will definitely miss the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown on December 28 and is also poised to bypass the Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Chase a day earlier.

'The ground is going to be very testing and we'll probably give him more time before he runs next,' O'Brien told the Racing Post.
