Le Milos moved to Dan Skelton's yard at the start of last season and the move appeared to revitalise the gelding as he won at Bangor on stable debut and then took one of the most competitive handicaps of the year, the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury. Skelton decided to save the gelding with a view to the Grand National after that big win and Le Milos didn't reappear till the Premier Chase at Kelso where a lack of full fitness cost him a win when he got collared on the run-in by Empire Steel. The trainer was not overly concerned by that defeat as he said he had left plenty to work on and Le Milos went to the Grand National as one of the well fancied candidates, finally going off at an SP of 12/1. The eight-year-old could be seen travelling well throughout the race but his stamina seemed to give out just before the second last and he eventually tired to finish tenth, thirty-six lengths behind Corach Rambler. That effort suggested that Le Milos didn't stay the extended four mile distance and it remains to be seen if the stable will feel he should be aimed at Aintree again in 2024. Le Milos still looks decently handicapped and it would probably be more likely he will be again aimed at Newbury and the other top three mile handicaps throughout the season.
