Fact To File can turn tables on stablemate Gaelic Warrior in latest renewal of King George

A month on from their epic duel in the John Durkan Memorial Punchestown Chase, Fact To File can turn the tables on stalemate Gaelic Warrior in what shapes as the best renewal of the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase since Cue Card famously got up in the shadows of the post to deny Vautour in 2015.

A decade on, Vautour’s owner Rich Ricci will bid to go one better in the Christmas feature with Gaelic Warrior, a horse who proved himself well-named when battling back to deny Fact To File at Punchestown on his seasonal reappearance.
