2m4½f (2m4f110y) “Get Your Ladbrokes Free Kempton Bet” Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race) (Class 3) (4yo+ 0-130)
I’ll be splitting aces between GAELIC WARRIOR and JANGO BAIE to win the King George. Both arrive in top form and still unexposed as staying chasers, whereas chief market rival Fact To File has consistently proven he’s a not a strong stayer at the trip. The market is telling us Gaelic Warrior is the fancied runner from the Mullins yard and both he and Jango tick all the boxes you’d want from a Kempton horse as they’re good jumpers with pace – both have won the Arkle over two miles – and they’re trained by the best in the game. Ratings suggest the remainder have work to do, and last year’s 1-2 Il Est Francais and Banbridge are out of form so easy to pass.
1.5pts win Gaelic Warrior @5/2, 1pt win Jango Baie @7/2, 14:30 Kempton, Boxing Day
