Kellahen won seven times on the Flat, including a Listed race in Germany in 2020. He could prove a shrewd acquisition for Tom Symonds but CAPTAIN BROOMFIELD ran a race full of promise at Haydock, despite getting loose before the start, and is fancied to go one better even though Judicial Law looked to have plenty in hand when getting off the mark at Exeter. Dibble Decker will need to improve on a third at Newcastle, where he was beaten 29 lengths.
