After Paul Nicholls decided to take Kauto Star out of the race, the Paul Barber-owned 10-year-old will have to carry 11st 12lb if he is to create history by becoming the first horse to win the handicap for a third time.

Having hauled around top weight 12 months ago, this time he has to do it off an 8lb higher mark.
