This time round, it's Allaho who looks set to go off as favourite after Willie Mullins confirmed that was the race they were targeting. The three mile trip will test the stamina of those that take it on, with the chance to join an elite list of previous winners including Kauto Star, Desert Orchid and Best Mate. It's the most prestigious chase of the winter and is the highlight of what is a packed day of racing - with £142,375 up for grabs for winning connections.
It's a festive spectacular every year and now the King George is in its 73rd renewal.
