Keep Coming⁶⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-4| J: Ryan Mania| T: Miss L A Perratt

66/1

Fairly encouraging start when fourth in Musselburgh bumper in December, leaving the impression that he'd be all the better for the run.

10/11

Beaten a head in a point by very promising subsequent bumper winner for Gordon Elliott and shaped well in Warwick event in December (caught quite far back). More to come.

Showed a bit in Ayr bumper in the mud on debut 10 weeks ago but likely to need more time and distance.

This could be a good race and LAKOTA WARRIOR looks the way to go for the Skelton team. He was beaten a head in a point by Gerri Colombe, a big-money purchase who won a Fairyhouse bumper as he liked last month for Gordon Elliott, and shaped very promisingly in a well-run Warwick contest for new connections in December. The previous bumper winner Arthur's Seat and Hector Master are obvious dangers.
