Gelded son of Eqidaar & Respectable ( Dam's sire Champs Elysees ) who was last seen at Yarmouth 44 days ago where finishing 15th/16 however a line is best drawn over that last run as he looked to be unsuited by the the soft going on the occasion that statement backed up by the trainer now returning to race back on the polytrack surface stepping back up in trip that being a good move by his connections M Crawley's inmate can be a whole different proposition this time out and looks poised to bounce back with a big run and this race is really not as competitive as it may seem at quick glance and Respectable Jack strongly appeals as the individual that can get the better of this argument the cheekpieces are applied for the first time and they can have the desired effect currently operating on a mark of 57 which is well within his capabilities Respectable Jack must be taken seriously and accordingly and shouldn't be by any means underestimated jockey Jack Callan takes off a handy looking 5lb which only enhances his good looking claims here . Respected .

Gelded son Valirann & Joleen ( Dam's sire Bob's Return ) who has developed into a much better chaser rather than a hurdler with his last two starts in a pair of Cheltenham amateur races since returning from his 220 day break best not judged too harshly now having reached top fitness with 2 runs under his belt Neil Mulholland's inmate looks poised to resume his good progress in this sphere currently operating on a mark of 117 over the larger obstacles it is very well possible Kelce has plenty more to offer as a chaser this term worth noting Kelce holds a clear edge with experience against most of his main makret rivals here jockey C O'Farrell takes the ride and can give Kelce a promising ride here at Sandown considered
