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.
King George VI Chase odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise all the key details for this year’s renewal are below.

Grey Dawning is next in our early betting after placing second in the Betfair Chase on seasonal reappearance.
Corbetts Cross is also prominent in our antepost market after last season’s National Hunt Chase winner kicked off his campaign by blowing off the cobwebs in a Listed contest in October.
