Kelso Race 8 - Bet365 Cyril Alexander Memorial Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

AL KALILA (3) wasn't at his best going right-handed at Down Royal last time however the Irish-trained raider had twice run well at this venue prior. The form of his good second in a handicap chase here in November looks solid and could be suited by this slight drop in distance. OLD GREGORIAN (2) was the only one to complete when making a winning chasing debut at Wetherby in October. Might still have plenty more to offer. PUSH THE BUTTON (1) has to give plenty of weight away. Clearly would be a major threat based on his runner-up effort in the G2 Howden Noel Novices Chase at Ascot two starts ago. SCARLET JET (4) rounds out the shortlist.

Resumes off a 35 day letup. Last run ran on from midfield; finished seventh of 9 runners at Cheltenham on January 24 over 4100m, on slow going 11 len behind Jordans Cross with 76kg at $7. The start before that; finished second in a small field at Ascot in the G2 Noel Novices' Chase on December 19 over 3800m, slow track; 9 len behind Steel Ally carrying 71.5kg at $13. Will not find this easy. Not sure he is up to this.
