The six-year-old climbed to the top of the market for Saturday's race after an impressive win in his seasonal debut at Clonmel earlier this month, and was only 9-2 in the bets after the designation of 14 runners Thursday morning. At that time, however, he should have crossed the sea of Ireland halfway, but after the cancellation of his planned ferry, it was decided to completely exclude the trip to Newbury .
"We were looking forward to having a horse with a leading chance in such a prestigious race," said Steve Mbadey, Race Manager for the Supreme Horse Racing Club's union, owner of Kemboy, Thursday, but we can not do nothing about the weather.

Even though he had a late ferry, he could make a difficult trip and not get to Newbury before the early hours of the morning. It's a blow and a disappointment for all its owners, but we know it's an exciting horse and we have to do what's in its best interest. "
In the absence of Kemboy, the peloton for the race will be the smallest for 19 years and well below the 20 that there was twelve months earlier, when Mullins' Total Recall provided the coach his first victory in a race formerly known as the Hennessy Gold Cup. .
