The King George VI Chase is the highlight of a busy festive period on the track as the leading staying chasers take aim at one of the most prestigious prize in the game.
The Christmas cracker is a proper test of speed and stamina over three miles at Kempton and the Grade 1 has been won by some of the greatest horses to have graced the game.
Racegoers enjoyed a thrilling renewal last year as the legendary Shishkin, who unfortunately passed away in April, unseated Nico De Boinville at the second last, which looked to set up a battle between the recently retired Allaho and 2022 winner Bravemansgame until the ‘Shark’ Hanlon-trained Hewick appeared from the back of the television to wing the final fence and secure the famous race.

Corbetts Cross is the favourite with Paddy Power for the King George VI Chase after last season’s National Hunt Chase winner kicked off his campaign by blowing off the cobwebs in a Listed contest in October.
Envoi Allen is next in our early betting after the triple Cheltenham Festival winner displayed plenty of guts to land the Grade 1 Down Royal Champion Chase on seasonal reappearance.
*Odds quoted on the widget are Future Racing / Antepost prices which means that if your selection does not run in the race for whatever reason – you will lose your stake under traditional Antepost rules
