King George VI Chase at Kempton 2008

If Kauto Star is in top form then he should win the King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day. The race is worth £220,000 and is run over 3 miles. If Kauto Star wins he will join the elite band who have won the race three times. The main danger might come from Our Vic who beat Kauto Star in the totesport Bowl Chase at Aintree last April. It is when Kauto Star has to be chased along that he seems to make the odd mistake which on some occasions has proved to be costly, especially at Aintree. Voy Por Ustedes will be trying 3 miles for the first time and at 3/1 is not an each way bet. At 8/1 Our Vic (pictured leading Kauto Star) looks to be the each way value. He has a good record when fresh and ran well in this race on his reappearance last season when runner up to Kauto Star. It should be a cracking race.
