The Queen Mother again. "He had his prep race for that at Punchestown last year and I see no reason why we shouldn't go back for that again - if it's not broken, don't fix it. I wouldn't rule out going three miles again and that's maybe something we'll consider after Cheltenham, where we will stick to two miles.
"I felt a lot of pressure coming here as the hot favourite, whereas in the Queen Mother we came in under the radar."Paul Nicholls said of Kauto Stone: "He's not that big or scopey and was flat out all the way. It would suit him running over further and we will look at the Ryanair this year before stepping him up the following season. There is nothing around to beat Sizing Europe at the moment."
