I THINK most racing fans might be looking forward to St Stephen’s Day more than Christmas Day itself. The 32Red King George VI Chase at Kempton is always a race to savour, especially during the Kauto Star years, and this year it is no different.

There might only be five runners, but it’s a high-quality contest with the likes of the improving and supplemented Josses Hill, the dual winner of the race Silviniaco Conti, and Tea For Two, who won the Grade 1 for novices on the card last year.
