Commander recovering well Connections report Imperial Commander to be recovering well from the cut leg he suffered at Haydock on Saturday. Nigel Twiston-Davies' totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup hero returned to action with an impressive win in the Betfair Chase. He was found to have suffered a small cut afterwards but hopes are high that he will be ready to face Kauto Star in the William Hill King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day. "It seems ok, so far so good and as long as we avoid infection and things like that we should be ok," the trainer's assistant Carl Llewellyn told At The Races. Imperial Commander is a 7-1 chance with Sky Bet for the King George.
