The excitement ahead of the 2011 King George continues to build and Long Run sits at the head of the betting for the Boxing Day showpiece.

Nicky Henderson’s 2011 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner will be looking to defend his crown in the race and Ladbrokes are offering punters just 5/4 on the superstar jumping his way to another Grade One victory over the Christmas period.

He is sure to be popular, but he will face a field full of formidable rivals and there wouldn’t be a dry eye on course if Kauto Star could add a fifth King George to his incredible CV.  After bouncing back to form in the Betfair Chase at Haydock, his followers will be looking to back the dual-Cheltenham Gold Cup winner at 4/1, but Paul Nicholls’ stable jockey Ruby Walsh could yet ride Master Minded in the three-mile showpiece.

Speaking at the weekend, Walsh explained: "I don't mind, once I'm still fit and healthy on December 26 I'll be happy enough to ride either."

Speaking about whether he would be happy to get off Kauto Star, Walsh continued:"There'll come a day I'll have to.  You have to enjoy riding these horses and he proved he's still a wonderful horse."

Master Minded is currently 5/1 for the race, with Captain Chris 8/1 and Somersby a 16/1 shot.
