The King George VI Chase is synonymous with some of the most famous names in racing with Arkle, Pendil, Wayward Lad and Best Mate all taking their place on the roll of honour.

In 2022 Bravemansgame under Harry Cobden took the win giving trainer Paul Nicholls a record-extending 13th victory in Kempton Park’s Boxing Day highlight.
