Sounds like you bet Al Ferof terriers??
If the meeting got called off on the 26th Dec, you would still not get your ante-p bet back on Al Ferof, as he was taken out this wk due to a set back.

The Nicky Henderson-trained Finian's Rainbow will miss the King George at Kempton on Boxing Day.

Sir Des Champs stays in Ireland for the Lexus.

I don't think Grand Crus will run either. The field is a bit decimated. I've beens stung badly so i'm going to swerve this race and forget about it. Good luck to any of you folks who still have vouchers kickin about.

final decs tomoz,market closes at 10am.

judo i am in london and we have had an unbelivable amount of rain, from about 4 in the morning to about 11 o clock it was torrential rain and it has eased a bit but it has not really stopped and is still coming down steadily now !

Why is For Non Stop such a big price?  If it turns up it must have a chance as it has decent from on soft and for me has been crying out for this trip.

Kauto Stone now looks the one imo. Happy t be on at big prices will have a save on Long Run.

10 declared:

Long Run, Riverside Theatre, Kauto Stone, Cue Card, For Non Stop, Captain Chris, Champion Court, Junior, Grands Crus and The Giant Bolster confirmed.

Hell of a field and couldn't say i'd be shocked if any of them got the win.

yes and the form of his win in Ireland has been shown to be weak with First Lieutenant and Quito de la Roque both well beaten in lower grade since.

Kauto Stone will need to improve significantly on that form to win this red hot contest

Timeform examine each runner in the prestigious King George VI Chase, set to be run at Kempton on Boxing Day...
Captain Chris won the 2010/11 Arkle and was as good as ever when landing a 19f Grade 2 at Ascot on recent reappearance, but will do well to better his third in this contest last year.
Champion Court took well to chasing last term, posting several good placed efforts alongside his 2 wins. Sure to be sharper for return over an inadequate trip, but needs to scale new heights to get involved.                   
Cue Card was the only horse to get close to Sprinter Sacre when second in Arkle last term. Most impressive when making a winning return in Haldon Gold Cup on reappearance, and breeding offers hope he will stay 3m.
For Non Stop improved when making a winning return in Grade 2 Old Roan Chase. Backed that up when second to Captain Chris at Ascot last month, but bit to find to trouble the principals now tackling 3m over fences.
Grands Crus looked an outstanding novice when slamming Silviniaco Conti and Bobs Worth in Feltham on this card a year ago, but something to prove following latest flop in Paddy Power Gold Cup.
Junior jumped fluently when making all to regain winning thread at Newcastle on recent reappearance. Connections forked out £10,000 to supplement him for this, nonetheless, looks up against it.
Kauto Stone got back on track when proving too strong for First Lieutenant in Grade 1 JNwine Chase at Down Royal in November. Could reach a place given stamina doubts surrounding many of the others.
Long Run won this and the Gold Cup in 2010/11 season. Not the dominant force he promised to be in this division since, but still the one to beat given the doubts surrounding many of his rivals.
Riverside Theatre landed 3 Grade 1 events on the bounce since chasing home Long Run in this race two seasons ago. Disappointing when last seen at Aintree in April, but contender given good record fresh.
The Giant Bolster confirmed himself a top-class chaser when runner-up in Cheltenham Gold Cup last season. Cemented improvement when third in Betfair Chase on return, but probably playing for place money again.
Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Cue Card
2. Long Run
3. Riverside Theatre
Timeform View: Long Run's two career-best performances have come in this race, but he isn't bombproof by any means, and the likely strong pace could put his jumping under pressure. With that in mind it may pay to take a chance with Cue Card, whose breeding offers hope that he will stay this far. Riverside Theatre and Kauto Stone may fare best of the rest.

Yes if he stays could well win.
Fancy For non stop to be staying on if he can do
a clear round...big e/w price

the meeting is 1.07 to be on

1 mile from track and has been raining for 3 or 4 hours on and off.

1.07 is not great odds to be honest..

From Racing Post site at 10am Xmas day

Going change at Kempton
The going at Kempton is now heavy. Don't worry, the meeting is not at risk. A thunderstorm deposited 6mm of rain overnight causing the going to ease. The rain is still falling, but is expected to ease shortly.

fallen angel, perhaps Ruby is playing down Kauto Stones chances. Personally i think that grade 1 win over in ireland is some of the best form on offer this season. Only Long Runs run behind Silviniaco Conti was probably better, that because Conti will turn out to be a gold cup winner. If Quito and First Lt are only championship level, then i presume you think something in the king george field is of a higher lvl...? Long Run is no super star and the newcomers are nothing special. His beating of First Lt which was fairly easy will stand him in good stead for finishing in the first 3 at least.

Well ive decided now that LR is the most likely winner given conditions and proven stayer,but of course hes fav,and price is too short for me.RT,CC,GC and KS are also too short with question marks that surround them.

So i am backing all the rest small for a bit of fun.

Race has become a bit of a lottery imo,so think it wise to keep my powder dry for other days.

Absolutely love that enthusiasm and how down to earth he is. What a complete contrast to LR connections. If he wins will be great for the sport, rubbish for my pocket however.

me too mate,enjoyed listening to him,and would indeed be good for the sport.
And unlike your good self my pocket will be ok,took 20's the other day.
not sure the ground and right handed will suit,but i reckon he was a bit of value at 20,especially with the price of LR,who he bear fair and square in the gold cup.
