'He definitely needed his comeback run and he's on track' - trainers on their King George hopefuls
Martin Brassil, trainer of Fastorslow
If everything goes well with him over the next few weeks we'll consider supplementing him. There's also the option of the Savills Chase over Christmas and we'll run in one of the two. We know he's a better horse on better ground and we'll see how the ground is at Kempton.
Noel George, joint-trainer of Il Est Francais
We'll have to see how he progresses. If he works the house down in two weeks' time, we'll be coming to the King George but we'll see how he is when we start stepping up a few more gears.
Emmet Mullins, trainer of Corbetts Cross
He didn't go to the Betfair Chase and that looks a wise decision now. Fingers crossed we can get him to the King George. I was happy with his comeback run at Wexford and he definitely needed it. He's on track at the moment.
