Paul Nicholls is looking forward to running See More Business in the £150,000 Pertemps King George VI Chase at Kempton on St Stephen's Day. The gelding, winner of the race in 1997 and 1999, was among 13 horses confirmed yesterday for the Grade One contest.

Nicholls, who will be double-handed in the race, said of See More Business: "He's in good shape. I'm happy with the ground as it is, he's in good order, everything has gone to plan and I'm looking forward to running him.

"I'm going to run Double Thriller as well."

Jim Culloty has been confirmed as jockey for the Henrietta Knight-trained Edredon Bleu. Tony McCoy has been teaming up with the champion two-miler when available but Culloty is back in the frame thanks to a third successive victory on the Queen Mother Champion Chase winner in the Peterborough Chase at Huntingdon last month.
