See More Business, one of the rising stars in British jumping ranks, has his final prep race for the coveted King George VI Chase when lining up for today's important Rehearsal Chase at Chepstow. He should win comfortably.
With the Flat season over - only all-weather fixtures remain for the Flat - the focus is on National Hunt racing.
It never ceases to be a source of amazement, the number of horses coming through the ranks. Only last week, the grey Teeton Mill recorded an thrilling win in the Hennessy Gold Cup and is now being touted as a likely Grand National and Cheltenham Gold Cup horse.
But See More Business, who runs today, is the early favourite to record a second triumph in the Pertemps King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day. The feature race has attracted 24 entries.
The eight-year-old, who defeated Challenger du Luc in last year's running, will bid to put his name alongside those of Desert Orchid (successful four times), Wayward Lad (three), as well as Silver Buck (two), Captain Christy (two), Pendil (two) and One Man (two), as a multiple 'King George' winner.
'It will be the same programme as last year,' trainer Paul Nicholls said. 'He ran at Haydock, then he went to Chepstow. Then on to Kempton, which it will be again as long as everything is all right.' Bookmakers Sunderlands released a market on the King George, with See More Business at the top of their list, at 3-1, with Escartefigue at 4-1, while Cyfor Malta and Teeton Mill both get a quote of 5-1.
