Two of Willie Mullins' stable stars look set to battle it out at Kempton Park on St Stephen's Day in the prestigious King George.
Owner JP McManus has seemingly given the green light to brilliant Ryanair Chase winner Fact To File to head to Kempton for the contest which is worth more than £140,000 to the winner.
That means that there could be a repeat of the absolutely epic clash between Fact To File and Gaelic Warrior, also trained by Mullins, with the latter coming up trumps in a brilliant battle in the John Durkan at Punchestown last month.
Fact To File looked all set to head to Leopardstown for the Savis Chase at the Christmas Festival but connections have changed tack and now the Mullins pair head the betting, with Fact To File rocketing in from as big as 10/1 previously to now a 5/2 second favourite with BOYLE Sports, who offer the latest horse racing odds.
Gaelic Warrior is the 9/4 favourite for the race, with the bets of the British hopes seemingly thew Nicky Henderson-trained Jango Baie (3/1), while the Harry Redknapp-owned The Jukebox Man is a 6/1 chance ahead of recent Peterborough Chase winner Djelo (10/1).
Gaelic Warrior 9/4
Fact To File 5/2
Jango Baie 3/1
The Jukebox Man 6/1
Djelo 10/1
