Tea For Two heads 20 entries for Saturday's BetBright Chase at Kempton Park following the latest confirmation stage.

The Nick Williams-trained eight-year-old has only met with defeat once in four visits to the Sunbury venue and that was in the King George VI Chase behind Thistlecrack on Boxing Day.

He is set to carry 11-12.

If he isn't declared then the rates could rise by at least 4lbs with Annacotty, another former winner of the Grade One novice at the track's Winter Festival, next in the handicap on 11-8.

Venetia Williams still has three runners engaged with Aso and Yala Enki potentially joined by Saturday's impressive winner Tenor Nivernais.

Champion trainer Paul Nicholls also has three to choose from with Irish Saint, Caid Du Berlais and Southfield Theatre.

Two former winners have stood their ground in last year's hero Theatre Guide for Colin Tizzard, who is now a stone higher in the weights, and the 2013 winner Opening Batsman, now 7lb lower.

Tom George has a good record in the race thanks to dual winner Nacarat and he has a good chance once more with Double Shuffle.

Three Musketeers, Cocktails At Dawn, Fingerontheswitch and Ballykan are among the others who remain.

Sky Bet odds: 6/1 Tea For Two; 7/1 Double Shuffle, Irish Saint; 9/1 Tenor Nivernais; 10/1 Theatre Guide, Three Musketeers; 12/1 bar.
