KING HARRY

Jukebox is a big hit in Kempton thriller

- by DAVID YATES

HARRY REDKNAPP toasted success in the Champions League as The Jukebox Man carried his colours to victory in a dramatic King George VI Chase.

With Kempton Park's future in the balance, the great race was in need of a classic and it got one.

Four of the eight runners were covered by no more than a single hoofbeat on landing at the last of the 18 fences, 150 yards from the finish of the three-mile test.

Defending champion Banbridge headed The Jukebox Man at the final obstacle but the 7-1 chance and jockey Ben Jones struck back to land a three-way photo by a nose, with 9-4 favourite Gaelic Warrior the same distance away in third.
