However, Walsh will be in attendance to watch Kauto Star and feels victory is highly likely for the Paul Nicholls-trained 11-year-old.

"It's very easy when your not riding to sit here and be overly bullish about him, but if I was riding him I'd be looking at it like the last three King Georges and picking one to beat you is rather difficult," Walsh said on Channel 4's The Morning Line. "I can't pick a horse capable of beating him."

McCoy will be riding Kauto Star for the first time on Saturday and Walsh revealed there has not been much discussion between the two jockeys over tactics.
