FLAGSHIP TO MISS KEMPTON Flagship Uberalles will miss the Pertemps King George VI Chase at Kempton Park, it was announced today.Noel Chance`s six-year-old suffered an overreach when winning his second Tingle Creek Trophy at Cheltenham last Saturday and his participation on Boxing Day had been in doubt ever since.Chance said that there would not be enough time to train the horse for the race in view of the injury.'I`m not prepared to gamble with the horse`s future,' he said.'The injury is a lot better but it hasn`t cured and as it`s on the bulb of the heel it will take a bit of time. I am therefore not running Flagship Uberalles at Christmas and he will probably go for the Game Spirit Chase at Newbury in February.'He is definitely on target for the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham in March.'Viking Flagship had been an 8-1 chance with Ladbrokes for the King George.
