See More Business: Installed as 6-4 favourite

See More Business has been installed as favourite to win his third King George VI Chase.

A record 32 horses have been entered in the £150,000 Boxing Day race at Kempton Park.

See More Business, trained by Paul Nicholls, previously won the three-mile race in 1997 and 1999.

He is the 6-4 favourite with William Hill and Coral Eurobet following his victory in the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby last time out.

Nicholls also has 1998 runner-up Escartefigue, Fadalko and Double Thriller in the Grade One race.

French trainer Francois Doumen, who has tasted previous success in the race with The Fellow (twice), Nupsala and Algan, has entered second favourite First Gold.

Among the other contenders is Florida Pearl, one of three Irish entries along with fellow Willie Mullins stablemate Alexander Banquet and Arthur Moore's Native Upmanship.

Other winners from the jump season include Whtibread Cup winner Beau, Thomas Pink Gold Cup winner Lady Cricket and Tiutchev and Lord Noelie, winners of the Arkle Trophy and Royal & SunAlliance Chase respectively at this year's Cheltenham Festival.

The entry is the highest on record and includes four top-class overseas contenders, as well as all the major domestic names

Tiutchev is expected to run at the Mitsubishi Shogun Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown on Saturday.

Jerry Wright, who leads the Liars Poker Partnership which owns the gelding, said: "Nicky (Nicky Henderson, Tiutchev's trainer) put him in the race very much as a precaution if he didn't get to go to Sandown on Saturday.

"There are very few options for a horse like him although Nicky is of the opinion he will stay three miles - he did win over two and a half miles at Sandown."

United Racecourses' racing manager Andrew Cooper said: "The entry is the highest on record and includes four top-class overseas contenders, as well as all the major domestic names.

"This year's £40,000 increase in prize money ensures we are significantly more valuable than the Ericsson Chase at Leopardstown.

"Therefore we will be doing everything we can to tempt those Irish horses entered to travel over to Kempton for our race."
