Kauto stars for Nicholls

Paul Nicholls unleashed two of his big guns at Aintree today and Turko and Kauto Star, both partnered by Ruby Walsh, duly hit the target in commanding fashion.

The latter returned to the fray in the Grade Two Bonusprint.com Old Roan Chase over two and a half miles, having ended last season with a fall at the third fence when favourite for the Queen Mother Champion Chase.
