After a two-seasons break due to injury Simonsig finally made his return in a hurdle race in November 2015 at Aintree over two and a half miles. He raced keenly through the early part of the race and tracked the pace of his stablemate Bobs Worth but when asked for an effort from his rider, Barry Geraghty, Simonsig could not quicken finishing a clear second with the other three runners failing to make any impact. Trainer Nicky Henderson said: "I would like to go back over fences with Simonsig but you can see how keen he is and we had to take the freshness out of him, that was the objective".
