Pady has King George in his sights Tom Cooper is preparing his stable star Forpadydeplasterer for a crack at the William Hill King George VI Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day. The luckless eight-year-old finished second in all of his six starts last season, including the Tingle Creek, Queen Mother Champion Chase and the Melling Chase at Aintree. He will start his campaign off in either the Fortria Chase at Navan or the Sinbad Testimonial 2010/2011 Chase at Cheltenham before heading to Kempton. Cooper said: "We're going to have one cut at three miles this year and probably go for the King George. "He gives himself every chance of staying and if he does, the sky is the limit with him. We just need to get one run into him first before he steps up to three miles. "He hasn't got many miles on the clock and it will be exciting if he does stay, but wherever he starts off will only be a stepping stone for Kempton." Cooper also has high hopes this year for River Liane, second in a Grade Two chase before injury curtailed his season, and Son Amix, fourth in the Fred Winter at Cheltenham. "River Liane has only been back in a month and is now a second-season chaser so could be difficult to place - he'll be back around Christmas," added Cooper. "Son Amix could be very exciting. He's really filled out during the summer and that was really his first break so it's done him the world of good. "He was down to run the other day but the ground was too good. Even though he is a real good mover I don't think you'll see him at his best until he gets soft ground over a trip."
