Kelso Race 2 - Bet365 Premier Chase (Listed) (Gbb Race)
Dan and Harry Skelton won this twelve months ago with their Gold Cup (Gr.1) contender and it would be a total shock were they not to land it again with PROTEKTORAT (3). The defection of Iroko looks like handing this on a plate to him and a replication of his win in the valuable Fitzdares Fleur De Lys Chase at Windsor would make him very tough to beat. AIN'T THAT A SHAME (2) hasn't been seen since finishing sixth in the 2024 Aintree Grand National 686 days ago. May claim a runner-up spot for new connections although the market will surely reveal more. MINELLA DRAMA (1) hasn't looked the force of old this season. Holds form to run well. STOLEN SILVER (4) makes no appeal.

Resumes off a 43 day letup. Last start finished fourth of 8 starters at Market Rasen on January 16 over 4300m, on slow going 26 len behind Filanderer with 76kg at $17. The start before that; pulled up at Aintree on December 26 over 4000m. Confidence looks to be down.

Resuming after a lengthy spell.

Won previous preparation first up by 2.5 len Gowran Park in a G3 on January 25 2024 over 5029m on heavy track defeating Glengouly carrying 71kg at $15 in a steeplechase. Worth considering.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up ran last at Cheltenham on December 12 over 4800m, 27 len behind Titan Discovery with 76kg at $101. Second run from a spell pulled up at Sandown Park on January 3 over 4000m. Unlikely to feature.
