Kauto Star and Long Run are set for a mouth-watering clash in the King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day.
The 11-year-old Kauto Star is aiming to win a record fifth title after he and stablemate Master Minded were confirmed by trainer Paul Nicholls on Tuesday.

McCoy added: "Kauto's win in Haydock was a great spectacle for horseracing. He's been an amazing horse, he's won four King Georges and is just an absolute superstar.

"People normally get behind the reigning champion, they want to see a great champ, and see him confirm that he is the real thing, but on this occasion everyone wants to see the old boy have a last hurrah and win for an unprecedented fifth time in the King George," said Waley-Cohen, whose son Sam rides the horse.
