Fehily retains Kauto hope

NOEL FEHILY has not given up hope of being fit to ride Kauto Star in the William Hill King George VI Chase at Kempton on St Stephen’s Day.

The jump jockey is to see a specialist today and is optimistic the wrist he injured in a fall at Newbury on Friday is not as bad as first feared.

It was thought he might have suffered a break when taking a tumble from Rivaliste in a two-mile-one-furlong handicap chase.
