KING GEORGE VI CHASE LIVE STREAM 2020

Trainer Paul Nicholls says he has plenty left to achieve as he seeks a remarkable 12th win in the King George VI Chase at Kempton on 26 December.

The 58-year-old saddles four of the nine runners, and cannot split his leading duo of two-time winner Clan Des Obeaux and 2019 runner-up Cyrname.

A duel over three miles for the top steeplechasers, the King George has a roll of honour that boasts equine greats such as Arkle and Desert Orchid.

Since the late 1990s, Nicholls has made the race his own with multiple winners See More Business, Kauto Star, Silviniaco Conti and Clan Des Obeaux all sent out from his Somerset stables.

In the last 23 runnings, the victor has been trained by Nicholls 11 times, but he is in no mood to get comfortable.

"I love the game, I love winning races, I love winning the big races," he said

"I've never even questioned or thought about when I might pack up, I couldn't see it happening."

Clan Des Obeaux is part-owned by legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. The Scot and Nicholls share a friendship and a similar outlook.

"He's always looking forwards. It's the same with horses," says Nicholls.

"You're forever looking for the next ones. You just can't stop, you can't stand still. It's like a football squad when some go and you bring others in."

Nicholls wears his heart on his sleeve. He loves to prove the doubters wrong, such as when Cyrname beat the then champion chaser Altior at Ascot last year.

"He is a seriously good horse and you've always got to believe in them even if no-one else does.," he said.

"All the experts thought he couldn't win it. Altior was 2-1 on and we were 3-1 and I never had any doubt that we wouldn't win that day."
