Jockey Kielan Woods is “really excited” to be heading back to the scene of his biggest triumph in the saddle as Millers Bank bids for more glory in the Jewson St Helens Old Roan Limited Handicap Chase at Aintree Racecourse on Sunday afternoon.
As racing returns to the home of the Randox Grand National, Woods and Millers Bank look for more success in the Grade Two feature having teamed up to secure Grade One glory in the SSS Super Alloys Manifesto Novices’ Chase over course and distance at Aintree in April.
The Alex Hales-trained eight-year-old finished fifth on his most recent start at the Punchestown Festival after his Aintree win. But the Gloucestershire-based rider, who celebrated his 30th birthday earlier this month, insists he can return to form on his seasonal reappearance back on Merseyside this weekend.
