Cue Card lands thrilling King George Chase at Kempton

Cue Card has won the big race of the day at Kempton after a thrilling finish to the King George chase.

Vatour and Ruby Walsh looked to have stolen a march approaching the last but Galway jockey Paddy Brennan rallied his mount to take victory on the line.

He came home a 9/2 winner, with favourite Don Cossack crashing out at the second last.

It's been a good day for Willie Mullins overall though with Faugheen coming home an easy 1/4 winner of the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton, while at Leopardstown, Douvan took the feature Racing Post Novice Chase, running out an impressive winner at odds of 8/15.

There will be an inspection in the morning ahead of the Shannon Airport Limerick Races after Day One was abandoned due to waterlogging.
