Kauto Star Jnwine.com Champions Chase odds for this week's big steeplechase at Down Royal has the former Cheltenham Gold Cup winner as resounding odds on favourite. His owner Clive Smith said on At The Races that his horse was in better condition this year at this time than he was last year and that he is "full of beans" ahead of his seasonal reappearance this weekend.
Kauto Star who lost his last two races last season, firstly to his magnificent stable mate, Denman in the Cheltenham Gold Cup and then to Our Vic at Aintree the following month.
However, Smith and trainer Paul Nicholls are both confident that the eight year has relished his summer sojourn and they expect him to run up to the form in this race. They are probably right as he is clearly the best horse in the race and defeat looks unthinkable at this stage.

Connections of The Listener are relishing the prospect of taking Kauto Star on and believe that they have every chance of succeeding. Jockey Daryl Jacob is bullish about his horse's prospects, believing that the preparation work that has gone into him has put him the condition of his life. He is sure to have the ground in his favour, there has been snow and rain over Down Royal over the last day or so and the going will certainly be on the soft side. Kauto Star can handle most ground but dislikes it too heavy. The Listener seems to like Ireland and has won there before but in last years race he unseated his rider.
The betting has ½ Kauto Star, 4/1 The Listener, 7/1 Snowy Mountain, 16/1 Knight Legend, Turpin Green, 20/1 Afistfullofdollars, 50/1 Bar.
