Long Run, a general 5-4 favourite to register successive wins in the Christmas showpiece, will again lock horns with Kauto Star and Smith is relishing the opportunity to take on the Nicky Henderson-trained Gold Cup winner once again. "It's going to be a great racing moment. Obviously, I'm nervous for the horses' welfare but I love thrilling races and I'm all for it," Smith told At The Races on Tuesday.
