Some Tips For Racing On Boxing Day come with pretty lean prices...

3:10 William Hill King George VI Chase Grade 1 Cl1 3m

Long Run won this race last year and went on to win the Cheltenham Gold Cup in March. He heads the betting at around 5/4 despite conceding victory to 4 times King George winner Kauto Star 10/3 in the Betfair Chase at Haydock last month.

King Kauto, as he is affectionately known, despite a magnificent display of jumping in the Betfair Chase is now rising 12 years old and there has to be a question mark over his ability to keep winning at the highest level, although there will be no more popular winner.

Master Minded 5/1 is a Group 1 winning chaser at up to 2m-4f and is expected to appreciate the step up in trip although this will have to be taken on trust.

Captain Chris 7/1 has a similar profile to Master Minded but as a 7yo perhaps has more to offer although he will need to brush up his jumping. He was one of our tips for racing at Exeter in the Haldon Gold Cup but unusually stumbled at the last while vying for the lead, useating Richard Johnson his jockey.

Somersby 12/1 is highly regarded by his trainer Henrietta Knight, has won at up to 2m 5f and is expected to appreciate the step up to 3m. Although he is yet to win at the highest level he makes some appeal in the place market.

2:00 williamhill.com Feltham Novices´ Chase (In Memory of Nigel Clark) (Grade 1) Cl1 3m

The Feltham Novices Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day showcases the emerging talent of jumps racing and many winners of this race have gone on to prove themselves at the highest level.

Among them Joe Lively, Ollie Magern and last year's Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Long Run.

This year's renewal is no less exciting with David Pipe's Grand Crus 5/4 heading the betting vying for favouritism with Bobs Worth.

Paul Nicholls runs high class french import Silviniaco Conti 4/1 who made easy work of winning the totetentofollow.co.uk Rising Stars Novices' Chase Grade 2 at Wincanton in November 2011. His trainer believes the step up to 3m will suit as will the right handed course.

Silviniaco Conti rates one of our top tips for racing at Kempton on Boxing Day.
