NICKY HENDERSON believes the Long Run who contests the William Hill King George VI Chase will be a fitter, sleeker racehorse than the Long Run defeated by Kauto Star at Haydock on a day that last season's Kempton hero was "not ready enough".

Reflecting on Long Run's reappearance defeat, Henderson said: "He was fit at Haydock but I think he's a fellow who does get a bit rusty. We're not making acres of excuses, though. Kauto beat us fair and square. Paul (Nicholls) had got him pretty ready for the day. We were pretty ready for the day as well but we weren't ready enough.

Last season's Stan James Supreme Novices' Hurdle winner, Al Ferof produced a faultless round of jumping to win by seven lengths at Cheltenham on November 13.
