King George VI Chase Betting Update PT 2

Should he be able to run to his ability and jump cleanly, many expect him to lead the field home by quite a few lengths as he will likely be looking to make a real statement here. Particularly with over a month between the two fixtures he is expected to contest.

The big question for Might Bite is proving that he’s not just a one-season wonder and many expect his big challenge to come from the likes of the talented Native River - and that goes without even mentioning Waiting Patiently in the King George - who is floated by the bookmakers at a single digit price for the race in the ante post markets currently.

Native River is also listed in the single digits for the King George VI Chase at Kempton and it’s going to be interesting to see just how those odds shift around as we get closer to the contest itself.

One of the best parts of the King George is that you can always count on the bookmakers to offer up a myriad of money-back specials and promotions to entice your betting dollar on the day after Christmas. This will sometimes lead punters into backing longer odds selections seeing as though they will probably get a refund if Might Bite wins or wins by a certain number of lengths.

That’s always worth keeping in mind during big races like this one.

The each-way selections are headed by Balko Des Flos and Douvan - both of whom have been able to flash their ability at times over the last couple of years and it’s going to be a fascinating contest with them involved should they make it to the race. Presenting Percy and Altior are also in the mix here and will definitely be worth a look closer to the race.
