Formscan - BRAVEMANSGAME has long been touted as a future King George winner, ever since an imperious display in last year's Kauto Star over C&D. A taking winner of the Charlie Hall in October, he fits the bills as a seven-year-old just reaching his prime for a stable that has an astounding record in this famous race. L'Homme Presse is well clear of these on ratings and has barely put a foot wrong in his seven-race career over fences, but this thorough stayer may be better suited by the test the Gold Cup presents in March. Hitman, who could be a different proposition on his first go at three miles, and the resurgent Envoi Allen are also noted.
