Long Run will be hard to beat in King George

I’m hoping to win the King George at Kempton on Wednesday aboard Kauto Stone, but the more I’ve looked at the race the more convinced I’ve become that Long Run is going to be hard to beat.

Long Run will be hard to beat in King George

Long Run is already a winner of a King George and a Cheltenham Gold Cup and, quite honestly, that form is far in advance of what any other horse brings to the table. Indeed, in the absence of Kauto Star, there is no doubt Long Run would have two King George’s to his credit.

Nicky Henderson’s horse made a fine comeback at Haydock, when I beat him on Silviniaco Conti. He will love the ground and is certain to stay, which is more than can be said for most of the opposition.
