Kempton

ChaseClass 13m

A high-quality King George. JANGO BAIE was very impressive on his Ascot reappearance and might be worth siding with to improve past top-class Willie Mullins pair Gaelic Warrior and Fact To File, who served up a treat in the John Durkan at Punchestown last month. Unbeaten chaser The Jukebox Man is another fascinating contender.

    Verdict
    Top-class chaser who ended last season on a high with wins in Grade 1 at Aintree and Grade 2 at Sandown. Picked up where he'd left off with a career best to see off reopposing stablemate Fact To File (29 lengths clear of Fastorslow in third) in John Durkan at Punchestown (2½m, soft) on reappearance.

    Smart novice hurdler and quickly made up into a better chaser last term, producing a power-packed finish to land the 2m Arkle at the Cheltenham Festival. Took his form up another notch with impressive reappearance win in 21f Ascot Grade 2. A threat to all if his stamina holds stepping up to 3m.

    Verdict
    Dual Grade 1 winner around 2½m last season, namely the John Durkan and Ryanair. Just lost out to stablemate Gaelic Warrior in a memorable duel for this year's John Durkan, pulling well clear of the rest. Has won a Grade 1 over 3m. A bold show looks assured.

    Verdict
    Smart novice hurdler who quickly made up into an even better chaser at the end of 2024, winning Newbury Grade 2 and Grade 1 Kauto Star on this card. Missed the second half of last season due to injury but made impressive comeback when beating Iroko in Haydock graduation event 5 weeks ago. Player.

    Proved suited by the return to 3m when overhauling Il Est Francais in this race last year but hasn't come close to reproducing that form in 3 outings since, including remote fourth in 17f Cork Grade 2 on recent return from 7 months off. Visored first time.

    Verdict
    High-class chaser who has won the Charlie Hall at Wetherby (3m, good) and Peterborough at Huntingdon (2½m, soft) this season. Now a 5-time Grade 2 winner but has come up a little short in 4 previous attempts at the top level.

    Verdict
    Bold-jumping front runner who landed Kauto Star on this card 2 years ago. Looked the likely winner for most of last year's King George only to be worn down late by Banbridge. While his C&D record makes him dangerous to discount, his recent efforts leave him with something to prove.

    Verdict
    Very smart chaser who was fine second in the Old Roan at Aintree on his reappearance but no match for Jango Baie when a remote fourth in Ascot Grade 2 since. Has had wind surgery. Big outsider.
