Don’t write off Kauto — Nicholls

PAUL Nicholls aims to bring Kauto Star back to his best for the Stan James King George VI Chase following his last-fence exit at Haydock on Saturday.

The 2007 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero failed in his bid to win the Betfair Chase for the third year running when he stumbled on landing and unseated Sam Thomas.

He will now try to redeem his reputation at Kempton on Boxing Day in a race he has won for the past two years.
