Aintree winner looks strong for Racing Post Chase

Renfrewshire trainer, Jim Goldie, is confident that his Racing Post Chase entry, Endless Power, has what it takes to win one of the year’s biggest handicaps at Kempton Park this weekend.

While William Hill have priced Endless Power a 25/1 longshot, well off the odds offered on the likes of Big Fella Thanks and Fleet Street, Goldie believes that his entry’s recent results speak for themselves.

“I think he’s in the form of his life, he’s certainly been improving anyway,” Goldie told The Herlad. “He won the Grand Sefton then put up a career-best over hurdles last time.”

One of the things that sets Endless Power apart from the rest of the Racing Post Chase field is his record over the tough fences at Aintree. Endless Power has a win at the Aintree Festival and also won at Aintree in November.

“Kempton’s a flat, galloping track, just like Aintree, and he has been right-handed before at Carlisle,” Goldie said. “The handicapper has him 4lb higher in the Grand National, so really we are well-in. We have booked Robert Thornton and he hasn’t ridden for me since he was an amateur many years ago.”

“We’re looking forward to it. It’s a step up in trip but the ground will be fine. We’ll be riding him fairly positive again and, hopefully, we’ll see out the trip.”
