KAUTO INJURY SCARE OVER

by Ben Newton and Laura Stephens

A HUGELY relieved Paul Nicholls this morning said that the scare over Kauto Star's fitness was all but over.

Back home at Ditcheat after impressively winning the Grade 1 Ascot Chaseyesterday Nicholls and head lad Clifford Baker took the shoe off the hind leg to relieve any pressure and poulticed the foot over night. It was at this point they were confident the problem was not serious."

Nicholls said this morning: "I've had a very sleepless night but fortunately this morning puss came out of the foot when we took the poultice off and when we trotted him up he was virtually sound.

"There will be no setback with his training."
