Sprinter Sacre was sensationally pulled up on his comeback in the williamhill.com Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton won by Sire De Grugy.

Trainer Nicky Henderson had been forced to skip the Tingle Creek with the highest-rated jumps horse in training due to an unsatisfactory scope and this Grade Two contest was suddenly the focus of his attentions.

Slightly awkward at a couple of his early fences, Barry Geraghty had him in third place but pulled him up with just under a mile to run, remaining on board as he trotted back, while at the business end Sire De Grugy was not that hard pressed to beat Oiseau De Nuit by four lengths.
