Never mind the King George, it’s all about Constitution Hill and Lossiemouth for me!

I fancy Lossiemouth with the allowance but I’d like to see them both race well and then a rematch in the Champion Hurdle.
Looking forward to it. Lossiemouth is a machine, it will be a very interesting clash.
Also looking forward to seeing L’homme Presse in the king George. Venetia is on fire at the moment.

I think the track will probably suit Constitution Hill slightly better, but the allowance is definitely helpful! Lossiemouth has had a run, where CH hasn't. I love that these trainers aren't afraid to take each other on. Ditto in Leopardstown where we have some fantastic matches.
I'm very much looking forward to Ballyburn vs Sir Gino the following day. Very exciting! Ballyburn has the advantage of having had a (winning) trip over fences already, but Sir Gino is undeniably classy.
Can't get too excited about the Kauto Star, but hope to see something decent from The Jukebox Man.

Kempton on Boxing day was the occasion of my best ever day in racing, one which will probably never be bettered for me, so holds fond memories.

I think it's a big ask for Sir Gino to go out in his first novice chase in a grade 1 around Kempton albeit he is a very classy horse. I'd love to see Jimmy lift the King George and that was a day of days!

I really hope CH wins but first we will see if he runs and if he does, I think Lossiemouth will have the edge given CH lack of match practice and her pure class.
Hopefully be very exciting to watch.

Gutted I’m not going to be able to watch the racing live - I’ll be catching up as soon as possible!!

Really hoping CH wins but with LM having the allowance, I think it’s going to be a tough one for CH.

I’ve backed L’Homme Presse and Il Est Francis for the King George 🤞🏻And Fontaine Collonges in the Welsh National.
