Kauto Stone is into 12/1 at StanJames.com for the Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham next March after seeing off his rivals at Down Royal on Sunday afternoon
StanJames.com spokesman Rory Jiwani says, “Kauto Stone turned what looked a competitive Grade 2 into a procession on his debut for Paul Nicholls. This was a steering job for Paul Carberry and while it’s far too early to say whether he will be as good as his half-brother Kauto Star, the manner of his victory was simply breathtaking.
“If Kauto Stone lines up for the Paddy Power, he’ll have a seven-pound penalty on top of his allotted weight of 10-11 which may not be enough to stop him. However, Nicholls already saddles antepost favourite Mon Parrain so he may not wish to declare both.”
