Spillane’s Tower, trained by Jimmy Mangan and owned by JP McManus, heads a robust lineup of 11 runners for the King George VI Chase at Kempton Park on Boxing Day. The six-year-old was a significant competitor last season and will aim for victory with rider Mark Walsh. Notable challengers include The Real Whacker and French contender Juntos Ganamos. The race features participants with strong credentials, including Grey Dawning and last year’s winner Hewick, who will compete in hurdles instead. Constitution Hill could also face off against promising Lossiemouth in the Christmas Hurdle.
