Trabolgan firmly on course for King George

Trabolgan has been given a clean bill of health following his impressive display in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup and is on course for the Stan James King George VI Chase at Sandown on St Stephen's Day.

The seven-year-old, having his first race since winning the Royal & SunAlliance Chase in March, defeated L’Ami to give Mick Fitzgerald and Nicky Henderson their first win in the Newbury feature.
