Can't say I'm altogether surprised, tbh. Probably won't get his ground, and shaped very-much like a non-stayer on his only outing beyond 22f (admittedly, it was 3m1f in a bog at Auteuil).
Maybe his absence makes one of WPM's other ones a more likely runner, though with Elliot banging them in regularly, it would be no surprise if both were kept the other side of the Irish Sea to contest local targets, and not brought over to the UK until the spring.
