Tony Calvin’s King George Chase Betting Tip 2022 – 50/1 Outsider the Each-way Bet

Boxing Day is one of the biggest horse racing days on the calendar and horse racing pundit and tipster Tony Calvin has picked out an each-way bet for the feature race of the day, the King George VI Chase from Kempton.

All eyes will be on the earlier off-time of 2.30pm for the big race of the Christmas period and Tony Calvin is looking to the outsider of the field to run into the frame at the current odds of 50/1.

He has also previously advised an ante-post bet on Hitman at 6/1 so he will have two of the nine runners onside at Kempton.

Tony Calvin Tipping Millers Bank in the King George

Calvin wrote in his Betfair column “Aside from Royale Pagaille, the one that I am currently drawn to at a massive price is Millers Bank, currently 80.0 on the exchange, as he actually has a similar profile to Hitman and he is about 10 times the price.

He is 50s with the Sportsbook for each-way 1,2,3 punters. Back him.

Sure, he is an 8yo and rated just 155, and the worsening ground may be a concern, but he is a Grade 1-placed novice hurdler with only nine chase runs under his belt and he has shaped as if another try at this 3m trip is well worth it. Even upped in grade.

He blew out over 3m60yd at Punchestown in April but that was only 19 days after his 10-length win in a Grade 1 at Aintree, and he has more than hinted that stepping back up in trip could pay dividends after staying efforts over 2m4f at Huntingdon and Carlisle this season.

I can’t really tip him at his exchange price now as I want to be putting him up in a more robust, liquid market, which I will get after the overnight decs – and I also don’t know whether Alex Hales will confirm him for the race on Friday if it was verging towards heavy (he has won on that surface but presumably the trainer would want better ground at this trip) – but I am going to take my chances at 50/1 each-way with the Sportsbook, three places.
