Randox Aintree Foxhunters’ Chase winner Latenightpass heads to Alnwick in Northumberland on Sunday as he retraces his steps back to the Grand National fences.
Trainer Tom Ellis has entered the ten-year-old (pictured above) in the ladies’ open race at Horseheath on Saturday, but will run Latenightpass’s half-sister, Latenightfumble, in that race. His wife, Gina Andrews, will ride the mare and then head up to Alnwick the following day, hoping to avoid a repeat of her visit to the Percy meeting 12 months ago when Latenightpass led at the final fence, only to fall.
Ellis said of Latenightpass: “The plan is to follow last year’s route to Aintree. He will run at Alnwick and then all being well will head to Charm Park [Sunday, March 5].”
Sunday’s outing will be a second of the season for Latenightpass who was beaten into second by race-fit Shantou Flyer at Chaddesley Corbett’s Christmas meeting. Ellis said: “He’s come on for the run at Chaddesley Corbett. Being beaten there wasn’t a total shock. I was disappointed at the time, but he is in really good order now.”
On a busy weekend for Ellis’s Warwickshire stable he will be sending out 14 runners and taking three horses to Saturday’s Tattersalls Cheltenham Sale.
Latenightfumble won last season’s intermediate final at Cheltenham’s evening meeting, but her recent win at Horseheath on New Year’s Eve was her first in open-race company, and Ellis fears the Alan Hill-trained I K Brunel could be a hard nut to crack on Saturday.
Former hurdler/chaser I K Brunel won nicely when making his point-to-point debut at Larkhill last month having joined Hill from Olly Murphy’s yard, and he is set to be ridden by Izzie Marshall on Saturday. Hill said: “If the ground is not too quick he will run at Horseheath. He came out of his first run alright, but then picked up a bit of poison that had to burst out. That put us back a week, but we’re very happy with him now.”
Hill also hopes to run Coolagh Park in the restricted race, more than 12 months since the horse produced a stunning performance when running out a wide-margin maiden winner at Horseheath. When asked about the horse’s absence Hill said: “He’s had more problems than Rishi Sunak – nothing major, just niggle after niggle. As long as the ground is good or softer he will run.
“The last fortnight has not been ideal for keeping horses on the go, but it’s the same for everyone, and given everything he’s in good order.”
