Ruby Walsh believes Might Bite will take all the beating in Kempton's 32Red King George VI Chase next week.

Walsh won the King George a record five times on Kauto Star but will be an interested spectator this year as he is nursing a broken leg.

He was third on Bellshill when Might Bite put in a remarkable performance to land the RSA at last season's Cheltenham Festival.

"Strictly going on novice form and the performance he was putting up in last year's Feltham, I'd be leaning towards Might Bite," Walsh told Racing UK.

"I rode in his RSA and the gallop he went was phenomenal. The pace he showed, the speed he went, he had Whisper to the sword and had us all flat to the boards from flag-fall.

"I actually thought when we headed out on the second circuit, the speed these are going they are going to fall in a hole and I didn't want to be left in front too soon, but Might Bite didn't slow down.

"He kept it up and it was an outstanding performance. That's not allowing what he did in the closing stages, but Kempton will suit him, going right-handed. I think he'll be very hard to beat."

Walsh added: "If we were to get a drop of rain this week and the track was to get a little bit slower, Bristol De Mai's performance in the Betfair Chase was outstanding.

"He's an unbelievably strong stayer and that's why he's so good on testing ground. He just goes the same speed and he kills off the opposition.

"I won't say he won't go on good ground, it's just can he burn the opposition off to the same effect? I don't think he can. I can see him being a bigger player in the Gold Cup than the King George."
