Kempton's Boxing Day card used to start with a good novice hurdle over 2 miles which saw some very smart winners (including Altior) but this year we kick off with the novices handicap chase - a trappy enough contest which I'll leave alone.
The trio of Grade 1s at Kempton starts with the Feltham and the most interesting runner is Il Est Francais. Jockey James Reveley will be hoping he can win the race that his dad, Keith, won as a trainer with Ungaro in 2006. But the man to follow on Boxing Day at Kempton is invariably Paul Nicholls and his Hermes Allen should be up to winning this.
The Christmas Hurdle should see Constitution Hill win by a street and the King George should be another one for Nicholls in the shape of Bravemansgame.
Nicky Henderson can also complete a double on the day with Gentleman's Relish whilst the new look Tolworth at Aintree can go to Ben Pauling's Tellherthename.
