With Hendo ruling both Champ and Santini out of the King George, Clan Des obeaux looks even stronger for the hat trick. I know a few on here have backed Real Steel as well so his chances have increased.
Did anyone think either of those were ever heading to the King George ?
Both need an extreme test of stamina and Kempton won’t provide that...

I’m keeping an eye on Angels Breath for King George if he comes back fit and well.
Was hoping for a mention in stable tour but nothing yet.
Be a massive step up for him but a possible dart for Henderson if Santini and Champ are not Kempton bound.
Henderson is just clearing the way so that Faugheen can come over and bolt up
Can you imagine the scenes.
I always remember Moscow Flyer’s second Queen Mother and of course Sprinter Sacre’s more recently but if Mullins can get Faugheen over here to win another G1 it would surely top the lot...
I wonder if they favour him over Santini in their GC ranking.
They’ve always been very sweet On Santini.
At this stage every top yard his happy with multiple darts for the big races, as we get close to raceweek things start to unravel...

Santini does look the more relentless galloper of the two though I do think he is ground dependant (genuine Soft) in order to win a GC.
You'd have to think pace is quite important to a few this time round. Therefore I can't imagine it'll be the farce it was last season. Too many trainers have a vested interest in making it a proper test. Only Mullins and Tizzard will want a repeat.
What I can't figure out though is who might commit to towing them along at a proper pace. I wonder if Hendo might let Santini go and try and make all, with Champ to benefit if it doesn't come off.
Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more I sweat, the luckier I get.

Al Boum won't care how it's run. He won off a slow pace this year and a quick one the year before. He's a horse in a million and the one to beat. Still can't believe he's 6/1. Win his prep at Tramore again and he goes 5/2. If Mullins was told he could have just one winner , he would be it. He is desperate to win it for a 3rd time with him.
