Cue Card ‘deserves’ a King George title

Colin Tizzard believes Cue Card “deserves” to have the William Hill King George VI Chase on his roll of honour.

The chaser will be rising 10 when he lines up at Kempton on Boxing Day and Tizzard was eager to laud his longevity.

Cue Card sprang to prominence as a four-year-old when winning the Cheltenham Bumper at 40-1 and has notched up a further four Grade One victories in the five years since.
