McCririck hails winning Run

John McCririck believes Long Run's victory in the William Hill King George VI Chase and the demise of Kauto Star has signalled the dawn of a new generation.

However, the Channel 4 Racing pundit believes it could be folly to dismiss Kauto Star in the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup on the back of just one poor run, especially with his trainer Paul Nicholls not quite firing on all cylinders in January.
