Dan Skelton is keen to run Turners’ Novices' Chase winner Grey Dawning this weekend but is waiting on the weather for his two options.

Grey Dawning is the shortest-priced British-trained horse in the Gold Cup ante-post market at 16-1 and could return in the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on Saturday or the Colin Parker Memorial Intermediate Chase at Carlisle on Sunday.

The seven-year-old has raced on no quicker than good to soft in his 13-race career. The going is good to soft, good in places at Wetherby and good to soft, soft in places on the chase course at Carlisle, with both tracks expecting a dry lead-up to the meetings.
