Allmankind extends perfect chase record with edge of your seat Kingmaker win at Warwick as Skeltons bang in 70-1 treble

ALLMANKIND danced to another big win over fences with an easy Kingmaker Chase victory at Warwick.

Dan Skelton’s edge of your seat jumper made every yard in the Grade 2 to see off Sky Pirate by a whopping 17 lengths.

Despite a hairy moment at the penultimate jump, the five-year-old bred for a Derby and not a fence, kicked clear of a tired runner-up late in the day.

Harry Skelton on board the 4-7 favourite cut out a searing gallop despite the heavy ground. But none of his three rivals could mount a serious enough challenge to have them sweating.

A mouthwatering race at Cheltenham Festival in the Sporting Life Arkle now awaits the Skelton horse, with Nicky Henderson’s Shishkin and the Willie Mullins-trained Energenume both in wait.

The bookies cut him into 7-1 from 8s for the Grade 1 with connections already licking their lips ahead of the race next month.

His trainer said: “That wasn’t the easiest viewing! I was always comfortable with how I was going and tactically, but out of this ground there weren’t that many big jumps to be had.

“I think four foot away from any fence on that ground today was a big effort. So he couldn’t get into his big exuberant rhythm.

“But one thing I’ve learnt from today is that he can get into some positions near a jump and survive them, which is vitally important.

“By the line he’s shown a good bit of stamina over two miles which is important and a great sign, and I’ve got a lot of respect for the second horse, I like the look of the form.

“There are three unbeaten horses over fences heading into the Arkle and it’s going to be very exciting. It’s going to be great fun, I’m really looking forward to it.

“I think a bit better ground and the run he’s just had will do him the world of good in a month.”

The Skelton brothers enjoyed a 70-1 treble at their local track as Mollys Ollys Wishes downed French Champion Hurdler Paul’s Saga and Benny’s Oscar took the opening novice hurdle.
