Kauto Star is the star attraction in tomorrow's highlight at Punchestown, the Grade 1 Guinness Gold Cup.

Seven line up against the former dual Gold Cup winner, who bids to end the season on a winning note.

Paul Nicholls' star is making his first visit to the Punchestown festival and comes into the race off the back of a fine effort to finish third in this year's Gold Cup at Cheltenham.

The home team is headed by Hennessy winner Kempes, who failed to shine at Cheltenham behind Long Run.

Nacarat was an impressive of the Totesport Bowl at Aintree last time and is the other raider in the line-up.

Tranquil Sea, Follow The Plan, Rare Bob, Roberto Goldback and Vic Venturi complete the eight-strong line-up.
