Fascinating rematch on the cards for big guns

PATRICK Mullins will be as intrigued as everyone else to see round two of Fact To File and Gaelic Warrior if, as looks likely, the pair clash again in the Ladbrokes King George VI Chase on Boxing Day.

It had seemed Fact To File was going to stay in Ireland for the Savills Chase over Christmas, but a mountain of money for the Kempton showpiece started to suggest plans may have changed.

With his Willie Mullins-trained stablemate Gaelic Warrior already at the head of the betting, the Closutton yard holds a strong hand and after their humdinger of a clash in the John Durkan earlier this season, seeing the pair up against Arkle winner Jango Baie and The Jukebox Man is a prospect for National Hunt fans to savour.
