JP McManus has a star-studded team ready to go for St Stephen's Day as he targets big race successes on both sides of the Irish Sea.
The owner is well represented with some potentially classy novices at a number of meetings, while Epatante and Chantry House could have massive seasons ahead of them and both run at Kempton.
Here are five horses McManus will be hoping can go close for him on Sunday:
Hercule Du Seuil 12.00 Leopardstown 15/4
McManus paid €185,000 for this lad after he finished second on his hurdles debut in France and he will have his first run for Willie Mullins in the opening race of Leopardstown's Christmas Festival.
Mullins has had incredible success with French recruits over the years and also runs State Man, who looks set to go off favourite for owners Joe and Marie Donnelly.
Hercule Du Seuil is currently the second-favourite in the betting and it would be no surprise to see him carry McManus' colours to victory.
Champion Green 12.25 Limerick 4/7
This three-year-old was fourth on his hurdles debut at Cork and looks set to go off the odds-on favourite here for trainer Joseph O'Brien.
Champion Green ran four times on the flat for McManus, winning at Punchestown on the last of those starts.
He could be hard to beat here if handling the likely heavy ground.
Broomfield Burg 12.45pm Kempton
Another odds-on runner, Broomfield Burg was last seen finishing half a length behind Lively Citizen at Cheltenham's meeting earlier this month.
This sort of test at Kempton should suit and he should finally get his head in front over hurdles.
It could be a huge day at Kempton for McManus, Nicky Henderson and Nico de Boinville and this lad could get the ball rolling for them.
Epatante 2.30pm Kempton
The 2020 Champion Hurdle winner is aiming to regain her Christmas Hurdle crown after finishing behind Silver Streak in last year's renewal.
She returned to action when dead-heated with Not So Sleepy in the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle in awful conditions last month.
She was brilliant when winning this race by five lengths two years ago and could be very hard to beat.
Chantry House 3.05pm Kempton
Nicky Henderson is aiming to win the King George for a fourth time after victories with Long Run (2010 and 2012) and Might Bite in 2017.
Chantry House was awesome when upped to three miles for the first time at Aintree back in April, beating Shan Blue by 32 lengths, with subsequent Ladbrokes Trophy runner-up Fiddlerontheroof a further 26 lengths back in third.
He returned to action when beating one rival, The Big Breakaway, as easy as he wanted last month and could have a huge season ahead of him now in open company.
