GAELIC WARRIOR has the stomach for the fight in a Ladbrokes King George VI Chase (2.30) for the ages.

- BY DAVID YATES

Nobody has ever disputed the seven-year-old’s towering talent, but a question mark has long hovered over Gaelic Warrior's ability to finish the job.

Victory at Kempton today will prove beyond doubt that Gaelic Warrior thrives — and does not wilt ~- when the pressure is at its most intense.

‘A step up in distance has been the key to the transformation.

Although a winner of the two-mile Arkle Challenge Trophy at Cheltenham in March 2024, the Rich and Susannah Ricci-owned son of Maxios harboured a frailty at the minimum trip which has been remedied by the extra yardage.
