He'd be a nob not to run really.
The horse is fine at Sandown on heavy ground.
He's clearly ready to run.
If it means he has to miss Kempton at xmas, then so what ? - it's on to Cheltenham at end of January. Then March.
If he ducks Saturdays race cos of the ground, then he'll be tearing up if Kempton is called off for some reason.

He’s obviously ready for a run now, and I really don’t think he wants to wait till Kempton.
And if he does and that’s called off, where does that leave him?
haha, just seen Q’s post!!

Ran in the Tolworth on ridiculous ground so that can't be the excuse!

Anthony Bromley, racing manager saying today that he has "no interest at all" of running Impaire et Passe at Kempton over Xmas.
I find that surprising and would love to know why ?
There is every chance that Constitution Hill may not run if he runs at the weekend on heavy ground.
And also, one or two of the other runners due to run Saturday may also not line up, if the race comes too quick.
So who else would run ?
Find it surprising the lack of foresight/imagination from some people in big roles within this game.
You might as well have the entry. Given the possibilities this year and your main rival in Ireland is in the same yard.

Lovely Envoi.....
“All being well, the plan is to run,” the Dorset-based trainer confirmed.
“Obviously, it was disappointing for Newcastle to lose their fixture on Saturday, but we’re pleased the race was able to be rescued and rescheduled for this weekend on a track that suits us well.
“She’s three from three at the course and won at this meeting last year in the handicap hurdle. There’ll be more of an emphasis on stamina over two miles round Sandown than there would have been at Newcastle, so from our point of view, we’re very happy.”
Nicky Henderson has suggested he may not only saddle Constitution Hill at Sandown, but that he could be joined by esteemed stablemate Shishkin, who he feels is in desperate need of a prep run ahead of an intended tilt at the King George VI Chase on Boxing Day.
Fry, though, is focussing on his own horse, adding: “Conditions shouldn’t be a problem, it’s an ideal starting point for her campaign and we’re looking forward to getting her season under way.
“We’ll just have to wait to see who else lines up. If Constitution Hill does run, it goes without saying he sets a very high standard, but you’ve got to be in it to win it.”
