Boxing Day 2019 Betting Preview PT 2

There’s a lot to like about his ability and a lot of National Hunt punters are predicting a big run here.

You’ll find that Clan Des Obeaux is trading at a 9/2 margin and has a good shot to get into the mix here but the price tag means a win-only play is the only way forward here. 

There will be more than a few interesting each-way selections lining up for this one but you can also expect a couple of contenders to make a big push forward here and hit the top three or four with a decent price. One of the best parts about betting on the King George is the fact that many bookmakers will offer up some exciting promos or pay out additional places on the race - and this can have a real affect on the way you handicap the contest. 

Footpad can be backed around a 10/1 margin and there is definitely some room to move forward for him but you can expect a bit of excitement about Native River (who still needs to be supplemented to the contest) and can be backed around a 16/1 price tag with several top books. 

Thistlecrack is trading around a 20/1 margin and would be a big feel good story if he was to be able to find a way into the winners circle or even command a respectable placing. 

Other notables include Bristol De Mai at 33/1, Min at 40s and Might Bite at a full 50/1 price tag.
