WAITING PATIENTLY can live up to his name by winning the King George VI Chase (3.05 Kempton).
Trainer Ruth Jefferson has long nominated this race as the main target for her stable star who showed his major talent when winning the Ascot Chase in February.
He defended his unbeaten record over fences that day, jumping well and clearly relishing another speed track like today’s.
Connections felt that Cheltenham’s ups and downs wouldn’t suit him and even 10 months ago they decided to wait for Kempton on Boxing Day.
That patience could well pay off as he loved the place on his previous visit to win a Listed contest by an easy eight lengths in January. That was one of the last big wins for legendary northern trainer Malcolm Jefferson before his sad death.
It would be fitting if this seven-year-old could give daughter Ruth another Grade 1 success. There should be the little bit of give in the ground he needs and he travels like a horse who will get the 3m trip at the first attempt.

His lack of a recent run is no biggie as he’s gone well fresh in the past and will have been trained to the minute at home.
Last year’s winner Might Bite is more than capable of bouncing back from his poor effort on comeback at Haydock last time.
After taking this last term he was a brilliant second in the Cheltenham Gold Cup before cruising home in the Betway Bowl at Aintree.
It was a worry to see him badly out of sorts last month but we know he has what it takes to win.
Native River is a really likeable type but he should find this trip and track a bit too sharp unless there’s a downpour to make the ground really testing.
Politologue looks more dangerous given he likes it here and shapes as though this longer distance will bring improvement.
There are a couple of rock-solid favourites in the supporting races at Kempton. It’s hard to see anything stopping SANTINI in the 1.55 given how easily he won a Grade 2 on his chasing debut at Newbury last time.
If he’s too short for your Christmas cash, Bags Groove travelled really smoothly when winning by nine lengths at Huntingdon last time and is open to lots of improvement. He looks the one for the forecast.
Buveur D’Air will be about fours-on to win another Christmas Hurdle at 2.30 so if you’re looking for a bet, pick If The Cap Fits to follow him home.
He impressed when finishing like a train to win at Ascot last time and looks a genuine Grade 1 performer.
There’s a more competitive contest on the telly from Wetherby where the 2.10 can go to WAKANDA who has been laid out for the race.
He was second in it 12 months ago when beaten in a driving finish from a similar handicap mark.

He went on to get the better of some useful performers in the Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster before finding life a little too hot at Cheltenham and Aintree’s festivals.
Trainer Sue Smith brought him back for a pipe-opener over hurdles here earlier this month that should him spot on for this target.
Crosspark is another who ran over timber last time but his effort was a winning one at Southwell.
That was on the back of an impressive chase success at Uttoxeter. That race wasn’t as strong as this but he got the job done well. The handicapper was watching and has hiked him 12lb but he should still be in the mix.
Lake View Lad rarely runs a bad race and had almost three lengths to spare when scoring at Newcastle last time out. He has won around here before and has plenty of stamina. He’s creeping up the weights but should be on the premises again.

Hayden Panettiere
Size: 8
Age: 18
Height: 5ft 1in
Weight: 8st
To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
