BELTOR put himself into the picture for the Grade 1 JCB Triumph Hurdle with a five-length success in the Grade 2 BetBright Cheltenham Festival Fund Adonis Juvenile Hurdle over two miles at Kempton on Saturday.

This was only a second outing over obstacles for the Robert Stephens-trained gelding, but he has also raced eight times on the flat, winning over 10 furlongs at Redcar in September, and so will not be too inexperienced when stepping up in grade.
