Kempton next up for Sire De Grugy The Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton over Christmas remains the next likely port of call for Sire De Grugy following his victory in the BetVictor Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on Saturday. Trainer Gary Moore fulfilled an ambition of sending out a first Grade One success in the two-mile feature, and to make the occasion even more memorable his stable star was ridden by his son, Jamie. "I hope to run him at Kempton," said Moore. "I know we have take Sprinter Sacre on at some point and I'd rather it was there (on December 27). "It was very special. For myself to have a Grade One winner with our horse and Jamie riding it and it's special for the owners as well. "It was very good, the horse did the job well. It all went to plan for a change. "He's got a big heart, he's very genuine because it wasn't really his ground. He wants softer ground. "He's absolutely fine. He ate all his food last night and he trotted out nice and sound this morning and is out in the paddock."
