Neil King's Lookaway made a welcome return to the winner's enclosure in the Coral "Daily Rewards Shaker" Handicap Chase at Kempton.


Winner of the Aintree bumper as a child, he was likewise put in both the Greatwood Hurdle and Challow in late 2023 however his development over the bigger challenges has been hindered by a breathing problem in more current times.


However, the 7-2 chance served a timely tip of his quality in the hands of Jack Quinlan to register an emphatic 24-length win and bring a return to the Sunbury location into the formula.


King said: "He would have given the winner plenty to think of at Newbury last time if he had actually leapt the last and he's put them to bed and done it well today.


"He deserves this, he is the most authentic horse. Last season we were eagerly anticipating our novice chase season and he got off to the best start but then he had a breathing issue and missed the remainder of the season.


"I have actually always liked him, he's a classy horse. We'll see where we go now. His owner Peter Beadles is going to Cheltenham Trials day in two weeks' time so it may be nice to go there with him, but we'll get him home to evaluate.

"The big three-mile race here (Ladbrokes Trophy, February 21) is likewise possible as I would not be against stepping up in trip and I believe 3 miles here would be pretty interesting.


"The Festival remains in the back of the mind like it is with any winning horse, but I 'd rather be practical and continue winning than just go to Cheltenham in March for a great lunch."


Alan King's The Doyen Chief (5-4 favourite) could likewise have another visit to on his agenda after combating Ben Pauling's Your Darling in the Coral "New" Horse Racing Bet Builder Handicap Chase.

"It was a great jump at the last and he was excellent from the back of there to get back up I believed.


"Newbury (Coral Gold Cup, when missing the start) was discouraging and sort of put a spanner in the works, however it's nice to return on track today.


"It wouldn't surprise me if he came back at the end of next month for what was Ladbrokes Trophy."
