1	5 1st (5) (12/1 +0%) Cracking Rhapsody		12 12/1(+0%)																															(5) Cracking Rhapsody 12/1, Won this last year and took his C&D record to 3-4 when seeing off 8 rivals on soft ground in December. Well held in a warm race at Windsor last month but his C&D record affords him respect. 13lb higher than when winning this last year but has an excellent record here.
2	3 2nd (3) (16/1 +20%) Alnilam		16 16/1(+20%)																															(3) Alnilam 16/1, Course novice winner last season who has progressed in handicaps this time round, posting a pair of good runner-up efforts before resuming winning ways at Southwell (2m, heavy) on New Year's Day. Still looks fairly treated after a 4 lb rise. Made all at Southwell; this is hotter but he's progressive and could make another bold bid.
3	16 3rd (16) (12/1 +52%) Old Gregorian		12 12/1(+52%)																															(16) Old Gregorian 12/1, Back on track refitted with a tongue strap this autumn, supplementing his C&D success in clear-cut fashion at Wetherby (2m) in November. Another good effort over C&D when second in December and creditable sixth of 12 in Scottish County at Musselburgh since. Two wins this season (including C&D) but improvement is needed off his current mark.
4	9 4th (9) (12/1 +25%) Slugger		12 12/1(+25%)																															(9) Slugger 12/1, Talented but quirky in time with Iain Jardine but has looked much more straightforward for new yard, completing a hat-trick at Musselburgh on New Year's Day. Thriving but another 6 lb higher in a deeper race now. 3-3 for Harry Derham; tougher assignment today but this 6yo C&D winner is clearly thriving.
5th	12 5th (12) (12/1 -9%) Florida Dreams		12 12/1(-9%)																															(12) Florida Dreams 12/1, Grade 2 bumper winner who doubled his hurdles tally on return at Hexham (2m) in October. Respectable efforts in defeat since without suggesting he has enough in hand to win a strong handicap such as this. In fair form since Hexham win in October but needs something extra in this hot race.
6th	13 6th (13) (40/1 +0%) Cormier		40 40/1(+0%)																															(13) Cormier 40/1, Won this race in 2022 but off for 18 months prior to finishing well held at Wetherby 4 weeks ago. Will need to leave that well behind to play a prominent role in this race again. Wears first-time cheekpieces. Won this in 2022 but returned from a long absence with a heavy defeat four weeks ago.
7th	4 7th (4) (6/1 -33%) Vischio		6 6/1(-33%)																															(4) Vischio 6/1, Ended her time with Dick Donohoe with a win at Punchestown in November and followed up for new trainer Emmet Mullins in a valuable event at the Dublin Racing Festival last month, shooting clear. Much respected on hat-trick bid for a yard which has tasted success in this before. Won in fine style on debut for this Irish trainer, who won this in 2021; very interesting.
8th	14 8th (14) (50/1 +24%) Here Comes Georgie		50 50/1(+24%)																															(14) Here Comes Georgie 50/1, Has had a productive season, scoring twice over hurdles and fences. A jump up to Grade 1 level over fences proved a step too far last time but not discounted back in a handicap with first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue tie. Reverts to hurdles off a mark 2lb lower than for Ascot chase win in December; chance.
9th	8 9th (8) (14/1 +0%) Petrol Head		14 14/1(+0%)																															(8) Petrol Head 14/1, Back from an absence with a bang last summer, winning handicaps at Downpatrick and Bellewstown for Katy Brown. Off again since but evidently capable when fresh and could have been more to offer for new trainer Neil Mulholland. Won twice in Ireland last summer; absent since; betting may be informative on stable debut.
10th	6 10th (6) (40/1 +20%) Milldam		40 40/1(+20%)																															(6) Milldam 40/1, Let down by his jumping when below-par fourth on reappearance but back on the up with a bang when landing a 2m Haydock handicap (heavy) just before Christmas, making it 4 wins in his last 6 starts. A 7 lb rise demands another career best, though. Highly progressive on heavy ground but very unlikely to have such conditions today.
11th	10 11th (10) (28/1 -40%) Gentleman Bill		28 28/1(-40%)																															(10) Gentleman Bill 28/1, Winning pointer who has made a good start to his Rules career, winning 2m hurdles at Bangor (novice) and Doncaster (handicap) before Christmas. Another good run when second back in a novice at Catterick in January. Looks on a stiff mark back in a handicap, though. Bolted up at Doncaster in his sole handicap; 16lb higher here but the form reads very well.
12th	1 12th (1) (6/1 +0%) Favour And Fortune		6 6/1(+0%)																															(1) Favour And Fortune 6/1, Enjoyed a good first campaign over hurdles, culminating with a win in the Scottish Champion Hurdle (handicap) at Ayr (2m, good to soft) in April. Stepped up on reappearance when fourth of 17 in valuable event at Newbury (2m, soft) 3 weeks ago. Return to likely less testing ground here should suit. Last season's Scottish Champion Hurdle winner; good fourth last time; could be in shake-up.
13th	7 13th (7) (28/1 -12%) Aucunrisque		28 28/1(-12%)																															(7) Aucunrisque 28/1, First win since his 2023 success in this when landing a decent 2m Ascot handicap in November but needs to shrug 2 poor runs since. Back on the scoresheet at Ascot in November but two lesser runs have followed.
14th	18 14th (18) (16/1 +11%) Rock House		16 16/1(+11%)																															(18) Rock House 16/1, Creditable third in handicaps at Huntingdon and Southwell this winter. Won't need to raise his game too much in refitted cheekpieces for a yard always feared in top handicap hurdles. Fair 3rd in two handicaps this winter but needs sizeable step forward in this hotter race.
2	2 |PU| (2) (11/2 -57%) Tellherthename		5.5 11/2(-57%)																															(2) Tellherthename 11/2, Useful novice hurdler for Ben Pauling last season. Pitched in at the deep end in Fighting Fifth at Newcastle on reappearance for new yard and ran well in fourth. Very interesting contender in his first handicap. Form of Grade 1 Fighting Fifth fourth has worked out well; has potential off this mark.
15	15 |PU| (15) (18/5 +58%) Wilful		3.6 18/5(+58%)																															(15) Wilful 18/5, Progressive winner in bumpers and similar story over hurdles, completing hat-trick in a Worcester novice in August. His winning has ended in handicaps but he did impress with the way he travelled for a long way when fourth over 19f at Ascot last time and it's possible this drop to 2m will suit. Shaped when a fair fourth over 2m3f at Ascot as though this drop back in trip may suit.
11	11 |PU| (11) (50/1 -52%) Ginger Mail		50 50/1(-52%)																															(11) Ginger Mail 50/1, Derailed by a bad mistake 3 out when pulled up over C&D last time but consistent in the main and was second in this race last year off only 2 lb higher. Pulled up here recently but had excuses; second of 17 in this last year; each-way shout.
17	17 |PU| (17) (100/1 0%) N'golo		100 100/1(0%)																															(17) N'golo 100/1, Winner of the 2022 Swinton here and he posted his best run since on the back of a wind op when a fair third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (2m, good) in November. Pulled up at Haydock a week later and not seen since. On a reduced mark but others have less to prove than this regressive 10yo.

15:30 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

VISCHIO created a deep impression when making a winning stable bow in a Listed handicap hurdle at Leopardstown last month. Although a stone extra in the weights requires another career best from Emmet Mullins' mare, she likely has more to come for this yard. Favour And Fortune was far from disgraced when fourth in the William Hill Hurdle at Newbury three weeks ago and the seven-year-old is feared most. Handicap debutant Tellherthename is also respected.

FAVOUR AND FORTUNE plundered a big prize in Scotland last spring and might be able to do so again on the back of a good run in a similarly hot race at Newbury last month. Alan King's strong traveller should prove suited by the return to likely less testing conditions and is preferred to Irish-raider Vischio, whose trainer won this with The Shunter in 2021, and Alnilam. Petrol Head and Tellherthename are other interesting contenders.

The mare VISCHIO (nap) won in fine style on stable debut at Leopardstown and could have lots more to offer for her excellent Irish yard.

1	2 1st (2) (1/2 +60%) Filibustering		0.5 1/2(+60%)																															(2) Filibustering 1/2, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (stays 16.5f), again ran well when runner-up last time. Sold from Tim Easterby 68,000 gns later in October and he's a very interesting hurdling debutant for up-and-coming yard. The best of these on Flat by some way; has joined a stable in form; commands major respect.
2	5 2nd (5) (25/1 +24%) Platin Moon		25 25/1(+24%)																															(5) Platin Moon 25/1, Seemed to show fair form when third in a newcomers race at Clairefontaine on his only Flat start but too free to show a great deal both hurdles outings at Musselburgh, albeit he was pitched in deep last time. Stiff task in Listed race last time; bit to find but he's lightly raced and in good hands.
3	4 3rd (4) (14/1 -250%) Miners Gamble		14 14/1(-250%)																															(4) Miners Gamble 14/1, Fair handicapper on Flat (stays 1¼m) and fitted with a hood, he confirmed his stamina for hurdling when third of 8 at Market Rasen 11 days ago. Open to improvement. 1-13 on Flat; fair start over hurdles when third at Market Rasen; improvement possible.
4	3 4th (3) (10/3 +17%) Maple		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(3) Maple 10/3, Has reached the frame on all 4 completed starts in juvenile hurdles for this yard, advancing his form for latest second at Catterick a month ago, just failing. Likely to give his running again. Knocking at the door, beaten nose after sustained duel at Catterick; in the mix again.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/1 -157%) Elforleather		9 9/1(-157%)																															(1) Elforleather 9/1, Fair Flat winner for Jack Channon and made a sound start to his hurdles career for Alan King when second at Southwell 4 weeks ago. No surprise were he to build on that and he should be bang there again. Three wins on Flat; shaped nicely when second at Southwell on hurdle debut; should go well.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 0%) The Three J's		66 66/1(0%)																															(6) The Three J's 66/1, Well held both starts. Little promise in two outings to date; difficult to recommend.

16:04 Kelso Conditions Hurdle (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

A decent sort on the level for previous connections, ELFORLEATHER made a promising start to his hurdles career when second at Southwell last month and, with normal improvement, he is expected to go one better. That may be at the main expense of Maple, who was denied by the narrowest of margins at Catterick most recently. Not beaten too far on his hurdles bow at Market Rasen, Miners Gamble is another open to improvement.

FILIBUSTERING certainly won't lack for stamina now hurdling and sure to be well prepared for this, he's selected to make a winning start for new connections. Elforleather, Miners Gamble and Maple have already displayed ability over obstacles and they can remain competitive.

Those with hurdles form look fair at best and above-average Flat recruit FILIBUSTERING may be up to making a winning start.

1	4 1st (4) (11/4 -38%) Walk On Quest		2.75 11/4(-38%)																															(4) Walk On Quest 11/4, Promise on 2 of his 4 starts over hurdles and much-improved switched to larger obstacles, bringing up the hat-trick with bags to spare in 7-runner handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, soft) 18 days ago. Up 10 lb on back of that but expected to take some stopping in bid to land 4-timer. 3-3 over fences; hit with 10lb rise for last time but this 6yo is clearly thriving.
2	1 2nd (1) (17/2 -13%) Menaggio		8.5 17/2(-13%)																															(1) Menaggio 17/2, Fair winning hurdler who has improved for switch to larger obstacles, bagging pair of small-field 19.7f handicaps at Plumpton back in the autumn. Reportedly bled when pulled up at Newbury in December but building a solid profile prior to that, so likely to bounce back. Pulled up last time but 2-2 in chases previously and could bounce back with a big run.
3	2 3rd (2) (10/11 +39%) Leader In The Park		0.909091 10/11(+39%)																															(2) Leader In The Park 10/11, Successful over hurdles but every inch a chaser on looks and left his reappearance in his wake when winning 8-runner novices' handicap chase at Kempton (20.5f) on Boxing Day, Value for extra when following up at Warwick (20f) 6 weeks ago and he's shortlisted with further progress anticipated. Unexposed 7yo who has won his last two and could have more left in the tank.
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 -29%) Step Out		9 9/1(-29%)																															(5) Step Out 9/1, Off the mark over hurdles at Downpatrick in August and has bettered that form in his 2 completed starts over fences, third in novice at Down Royal (16.5f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Still room for improvement in his jumping and he'll find easier openings than this. Did well to finish third at Down Royal after bad mistake; needs to cut out the blunders.
3	3 |F| (3) (7/1 -27%) Hashtag Boum		7 7/1(-27%)																															(3) Hashtag Boum 7/1, Successful twice over hurdles and has already shown herself to be more of a force in this sphere, gaining a second chase victory at Ayr (20.5f) 2 starts back. Far from discredited when third in 4-runner contest back there 39 days ago and eased a little in weights ahead of this. Made it 2-3 over fences at Ayr in January; beaten there since but not ruled out.

16:39 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 3) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Similar to his stable, LEADER IN THE PARK is in top form at present and a further 5lb rise for his most recent success at Warwick may not be enough to prevent him from landing the hat-trick. The seven-year-old gets the vote ahead of Walk On Quest, who is unbeaten in three starts over fences but has a hefty 10lb rise to deal with for winning at Ayr last month. Irish raider Step Out is another to bear in mind.

LEADER IN THE PARK was value for more than the bare margin implies when taking his chase record to 2-3 at Warwick 6 weeks ago and, with further progress in the offing, he gets the nod to complete the hat-trick with his trainer/jockey combination continuing in scintillating form. Walk On Quest is similarly most progressive and comfortably rates the chief threat in search of the 4-timer. Menaggio may do best of the other trio.

Two highly progressive chasers clash and LEADER IN THE PARK is taken to get the better of Walk On Quest.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
