Kauto Star Set To Meet Fair Weather For King George
Wednesday 19 December 2007 at 16:52
 Pre-King George VI Chase favourite Kauto Star is set to meet fair conditions in the annual Christmas racing extravaganza.
With the going set to be declared as good, the Star is 8/11 favourite with Bet Fred to claim the title, with Exotic Dancer trailing just behind at 5/1 with Centre Bet.
And Barney Clifford revealed that despite frost in the last few days, the track should hold up for the race on December 26th.
"The forecast is very favourable. The forecast at 10 am from the Met Office was that it would remain cold with high pressure dominant until Saturday. Then there's a front coming through from the south west Sunday onwards," he said.
Clearly looking forward to the race, he added: "It looks fantastic and the King George looks like hopefully being one of the best we have seen for a while.
"I think the Order of Merit and the Betfair bonus have all helped. People are aware there is actually a programme and they can say we can take the same route as last year."
Meanwhile, in-form Monet's Garden is an outsider for the race, priced at 35/1 with Bet Chronicle.
