A decision will be made later this week on Flagship Uberalles` participation in the Pertemps King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day.
The Noel Chance-trained six-year-old suffered an overreach when winning the Doubleprint Tingle Creek Trophy at Cheltenham last Saturday.
'The injury is in the bulb of the heel which means it is in an awkward place as the horse is standing on it all the time,' explained Chance.
'He has got to get some work into him by the weekend but I am hopeful that the injury will heal quickly. I am just taking one day at a time.'
Flagship Uberalles is a best-priced 10-1 with the Tote for the Boxing Day feature.
