Nicholls: Star still burning bright

Paul Nicholls is confident Kauto Star is in the form of his life ahead of his bid for a remarkable fifth victory in the William Hill King George VI Chase at Kempton.

The 10-year-old has been simply breathtaking on his previous visits to the Sunbury track and despite the race being delayed due to the abandonment of the track’s Boxing Day card, he will be the hot favourite if the meeting goes ahead on Monday.
