Steel Ally lays down Arkle claims in Kingmaker
By Racing TV
Last Updated: Sat 7 Feb 2026
Steel Ally is three from three over fences after a wide-margin win in the Bet Smarter With Oddschecker Kingmaker Novices’ Chase at Warwick.
Sam Thomas’ eight-year-old was the 10-11 favourite in a small field of three, with Ben Pauling’s Mambonumberfive considered his key rival at 11-8.
It was the outsider, Dan Skelton’s Mirabad, who made the running at a good pace and that took its toll as Mambonumberfive lost ground over his fences.
Steel Ally fared best of all, taking over at the head of affairs turning into the straight to canter home 10 lengths ahead under Dylan Johnston.
Coral cut the winner to 10-1 from 20s for the Arkle at Cheltenham.
