Clive and I have given Kauto Star the green light for the Cheltenham Gold Cup after a very good schooling session on the grass this morning.
Ruby came over to school him and Kauto was awesome, just as I'd thought he would be.
He jumped six fences - the plain fence and the open ditch three times each - and he was foot perfect and looked magnificent.
I have just put the phone down to Clive and, barring any mishaps in the next few days, Kauto lines up for the Gold Cup at Cheltenham on Friday.
We are looking forward to it.
