Kicking King team favour Red Mills test

KICKING King is more likely to continue on the comeback trail in the Red Mills Chase at Gowran on February 16 than in the Irish Hennessy next weekend.

The former Gold Cup winner delighted connections on his first run for 759 days in the Normans Grove Chase when he split Nickname at Newmill.

But trainer Tom Taaffe believes the Grade One at Leopardstown may come too soon for the 10-year-old.
