Edredon Bleu win King George VI Chase

Edredon Bleu proved a more than able substitute for Best Mate with a memorable victory in the Pertemps King George VI Chase at Kempton Park today.

With last year’s winner Best Mate rerouted to Leopardstown for Sunday’s Ericsson Chase, Edredon Bleu stepped into the breach for trainer Henrietta Knight and owner Jim Lewis.
