See More Business is a hot favourite to win his third Pertemps King George VI Chase following the publication of entries for the race yesterday.
A record total of 32 horses have been put in the £150,000 St Stephen's Day feature at Kempton Park.
See More Business, trained by Paul Nicholls, won the three mile contest in 1997 and again last season and is 6 to 4 favourite with Coral Eurobet and William Hill following his victory in the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby last time.
Nicholls also has 1998 runner-up Escartefigue, Fadalko and Double Thriller in the Grade One race.
Chantilly-based trainer Francois Doumen, who has won this race with The Fellow (twice), Nupsala and Algan, has entered First Gold, who is Hills' 11 to 4 second favourite for the event.
The race remains a possible target for Florida Pearl and Willie Mullins' charge is one of three Irish entries along with stable-mate Alexander Banquet and Arthur Moore's Native Upmanship.
Also entered are Whitbread Gold Cup winner Beau, Thomas Pink Gold Cup heroine Lady Cricket, and Cheltenham Festival winners Tiutchev and Lord Noelie.
Tiutchev was put in the race by trainer Nicky Henderson to increase his options although connections are hopeful he will stay three miles. The seven-year-old is among the confirmations for Saturday's Mitsubishi Shogun Tingle Creek Chase at Sandown.
The first four home in the Queen Mother Champion Chase, Edredon Bleu, Direct Route, Flagship Uberalles and The Outback Way, could all step up to three miles at Kempton.
