Kempton Park: Dual Ryanair Chase hero Allaho heads the market with race sponsor Ladbrokes as entries are revealed for the Grade One Ladbrokes King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day, Monday 26th December.
The Cheveley Park Stud-owned eight year old is one of four entries for Ireland’s champion Jump trainer Willie Mullins along with last year’s winner Tornado Flyer.
Britain’s 13-times champion Jump trainer Paul Nicholls has won the three-mile Boxing Day highlight on a record 12 occasions. His quintet of entries in 2022 is headed by recent impressive Charlie Hall Chase victor Bravemansgame and also includes 2020 scorer Frodon.
Nicola McGeady, Ladbrokes Head of PR said: “This year’s renewal looks a stellar line-up but Bravemansgame’s eye-catching performance on Saturday in the Charlie Hall Chase has led to a surge of support in his favour and he’s now closing the gap with Allaho at the head of the betting.”

Karen can usually be found glued to her computer or at the stables. Having edited several national magazines she co-founded Eclipse Magazine in 2008 after realising that many of her friends were nervous about going racing due to lack of information – what to wear, how to bet etc.
She absolutely loves her job (how many people can say that?!) and is truly grateful to all supporters of and contributors to Eclipse Magazine.
If you are reading this she would like to say THANK YOU! (And please spread the word about Eclipse…!!)
