Boxing Day free racing tips: find out who our experts fancy for the King George

Handicappers' nap

Storm Arising (1.25 Wincanton)

Course winner who shaped as if the step up to this trip would suit when a good fourth here last time. Nicely weighted and a potential improver.
Steve Mason

Newmarket nap

Marlborough Sands (12.35 Market Rasen)

Produced an eyecatching effort on his hurdles debut when he was never far away from the action. He can land the spoils under Jack Quinlan with normal improvement assured.
Anthony Burke

West Country nap

Dostal Phil (2.25 Fontwell)

Has to give weight away all round on his seasonal comeback but should be up to the task.
Andrew King

Eyecatcher

Top Ville Ben (2.10 Wetherby)

Made a real impact on his handicap chase debut. Well backed beforehand, he recorded a fine round of jumping in front but just idled on the run-in. There should be a nice staying handicap in him.

Irish angle

Dreamingandhoping (3.50 Limerick)

This four-year-old makes plenty of appeal after her fine debut second in a Listed mares' bumper at Navan last month.
Tony O'Hehir

Ace tipster

Neachells Bridge (1.40 Market Rasen)

Finished behind Pym and Highest Sun at Ascot last time and tackles this lesser contest off the same mark.
Keith Melrose

Speed figures

Clan Des Obeaux (3.05 Kempton)

Landed this prestigious prize 12 months ago and his outing at Down Royal last month will have put him spot on.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Cyrname (3.05 Kempton)

Too headstrong and evidently a bit of a handful in his younger days but has matured over the last year or so and his last three wins have been excellent. Given a strong impression that 3m will be well within range and has won both course starts.

Dark horse

Rocco (2.10 Wetherby)

Has scope for improvement over fences after just four starts and has looked in need of this stamina test.
David Revers
