If he doesn't run you get a free bet and if he does he'll be under 10-1.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/29637817/kauto-stonewh?post_id=528273973#528273973I think he's better fresh, possibly on soft ground and maybe not a great jumper of a fence against the best at a fast pace but the BetVictor NRFB is perfect here.

Admittedly it's a wide-open race, and not one stacked with talent (at least the ones that we know will stay), but he just looks short of top class for me. Not convinced he's an out and out stayer either.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/29637817/kauto-stonewh?post_id=528262389#528262389Does he have a great engine though?

Very much like Big Buck's at this stage 5 years ago.
