Willie Mullins' exciting grey Champagne Fever is among ten possible runners for the William Hill King George VI Chase at Kempton on St Stephen's Day.

The seven-year-old excelled in winning at Clonmel last month, but has yet to be tested over the King George trip of three miles.

Silviniaco Conti heads the list, having won the Christmas highlight 12 months ago. Paul Nicholls' charge warmed up for his repeat bid with victory in the Betfair Chase at Haydock in November.

Nicholls could also be represented by brilliant Ascot winner Al Ferof and Wonderful Charm.

Last season's runner-up Cue Card is again in contention, with connections of Dynaste hoping for better fortune after David Pipe's grey could finish only fifth in 2013.

Philip Hobbs has left in Wishfull Thinking and Menorah, while Paddy Power Gold Cup runner-up Johns Spirit may be given the chance to shine by Jonjo O'Neill.

Double Ross is also still in the hat for the Nigel Twiston-Davies team.
