Jukebox Man hoping to cut a rug in the Kempton chase

THE Jukebox Man can come of age with victory in a fascinating renewal of the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase at Kempton.

A quality field of eight runners goes to post for the traditional Boxing Day highlight, with the Willie Mullins-trained pair of Gaelic Warrior and Fact To File justifiably the top two in the market following their epic John Durkan battle at Punchestown last month.

Gaelic Warrior denied Fact To File by a neck that day and with ratings in the 170s the Closutton duo are clear of the rest of the field, but there are a couple of less exposed horses in the field who have yet to test the water at this level and The Jukebox Man has the potential to bridge the gap.
