Quick Returner Set To Strike At Wolverhampton
Extra Distance To Suit Kirrane Mount
The Gay Kellaway trained UBLA tackled his longest trip since December, 2016, last Monday, and, equipped with an eye shield for just the third time came home by just under a length to Molten Lava over a mile and half a furlong. He is a multiple winner for Kellaway, with half a dozen successes, and goes over an extra furlong today, which might suit him well again. He gets two ticks from BTOPlus+ under ‘Sire Distance’ (Arcano) and this reinforces the impression given in running at the end of Monday’s race. He had been held up four or five off the rails after breaking well but took it up on the bend and showed no signs of stopping.Up six pounds today, he may find his nearest rival to be course and distance winner FALSE ID, though William Hills’ 20/1 about KINGFAST surely won’t last. Ubla is top on BTO ratings, loves the course, wears winning headgear and Kellaway is in form so the 4/1 on offer across the board looks worth a punt. G Lees
