Warren Greatrex's Aloomomo has Kempton aim

Aloomomo is being lined up for a rise in class after trainer Warren Greatrex confirmed the BetBright Chase at Kempton is likely to be next on the agenda.
The Upper Lambourn believes the three-mile Grade Three handicap on February 27 is the ideal race for the progressive six-year-old, who has won his last three races over fences.
Greatrex said: "I think Aloomomo is a very good horse and he won extremely well at Newbury last time.
"It was a competitive handicap and for a relatively inexperienced horse he jumped well and finished well.
"The plan is to give him a bit of a break the run in the BetBright Chase at Kempton at the end of February.
"I think going right-handed on soft ground over three miles will suit him. Ground is key to him as he loves soft ground.
"He's improving very quickly and is very progressive.
"I think there's still plenty of improvement in him and at the moment he could be anything."
Stablemate Out Sam will drop in class following his third-placed finish on his debut over fences in a Grade Two at Ascot last month.
He said: "I was really happy with Out Sam's first run over, fences particularly as it came in a Grade Two event.
"He jumped well on the whole and he got better the further he went. He's only seven and he's not had much racing.
"I'd like to find an easier race for him in mid-January that he can win to give him some confidence.
"We will keep him to two and a half miles, for the time being, but he will get three miles."
