MOUNT Mews gained a bloodless victory in the Grade 2 Premier Kelso Novices’ Hurdle last Saturday and this is a six-year-old to note for the Aintree Festival where he will likely be seen out next.

Owned by Trevor Hemmings and trained by Malcolm Jefferson, the son of Rathbarry and Glenview Studs’ stalwart Presenting and the Bob Back mare Kneeland Lass was bred by Tom Meagher at his Kedrah House Stud. Having failed to sell as a foal, he was reoffered at the following year’s Tattersalls Ireland November Sale and was knocked down to Highflyer Bloodstock at €23,000.
