Race preview
KAUTO THE KING is very hard to get away from having romped to victory on his chasing debut at Wincanton last month. Colin Tizzard's gelding may not be one of his stable's stars, but that performance suggests that the 110-rated hurdler will prove far more effective over the bigger obstacles. Holly James has some decent hurdles form in the book and is respected, while The Crooner is not ruled out for a yard that tends to come good at around this time of year.
