"Not that the fans will care if victory in the most intense of games is achieved. For, whilst Manchester City and Leeds are core rivalries at Old Trafford, for many supporters, Liverpool are the true enemy."

"The David Pipe-trained Kings Palace again demonstrated himself a young steeplechaser of the highest potential when easing to victory in Cheltenham's Ryman Stationery Novices Chase (12-30).

"What so impressed about the Tom Scudamore-ridden 6-year-old, who was making it 2 wins from two starts over fences, was the manner in which he accelerated away when challenged at the 2nd last by runner-up Sausalito Sunrise.

"Asked whether he'd trained a better jumper, a clearly impressed Pipe, who indicated the horse will not now run until early 2015, said:

'I don't think so.'

"Scudamore added: 'He's quick, slick and neat - very exciting.'

"Kings Palace is as short as 4-1 favourite for the RSA Chase at the Cheltenham Festival in March. The Gold Cup is a long-term aim. "
