Dan Skelton keen to run Grey Dawning in Saturday's Charlie Hall but drying ground at Wetherby may bring Carlisle into play

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.
