13:15 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 2) 26f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (22/1 -120%) Mr Incredible	22 22/1(-120%)	(1) Mr Incredible 22/1, Quirky sort who put his best foot forward when runner-up in last season's Midlands National. However, ended time with Willie Mullins on a low-key note last spring and not for the first time blotted his copybook by refusing to race on return/stable debut at Wetherby in December. Risky. On a handy mark but can refuse to race, which was the case on stable debut in December.
1	4 1st (4) (15/8 +53%) Cadell	1.875 15/8(+53%)	(4) Cadell 15/8, A fairly useful winner over hurdles and he took a sizeable step forward when landing 3m Wetherby novice chase in November. Hasn't featured in deeper contests subsequently but this drop back in trip rates more suitable and this 7-y-o isn't one to write off. Impressed in 3-runner novice at Wetherby in November and possible excuses the next twice.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +0%) Your Own Story	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Your Own Story 4/1, Thorough stayer who was second in Borders National here (4m) in December prior to a respectable sixth in Welsh equivalent later that month. Fifth in Eider Chase on latest run 4 weeks ago (later disqualified after rider weighed in light) and likely he'll benefit from making this a good test. Visored. Often finishes second (including here) and might not be far away if returning to form.
3	3 3rd (3) (15/8 -7%) Dare To Shout	1.875 15/8(-7%)	(3) Dare To Shout 15/8, Fairly useful hurdler who made it second time lucky over fences at Carlisle (20f) in November. Runner-up all 4 starts since, chasing home subsequent Cheltenham Festival winner Myretown on penultimate run. Record here reads 122 and shortlisted back up in trip. Has run well when second the last twice; likes it here and he's a solid candidate.
4	2 4th (2) (5/1 -25%) Pull Again Green	5 5/1(-25%)	(2) Pull Again Green 5/1, Just the one success over fences so far, namely a Bangor handicap back in 2023. Largely held his form well over fences late last year before a lesser display at Doncaster in December but returns with stable amongst the winners and better anticipated from reduced mark. Bad mistake when well beaten in December; in good form previously and could be in the mix.

13:15 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 2) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Having filled the runner-up spot on his last four outings, DARE TO SHOUT cannot be faulted for his consistency. Ann Hamilton's eight-year-old lost little in defeat when second on his latest start over a trip short of his best at Ayr and this looks a suitable opportunity for some compensation. Your Own Story has faced some tall assignments this season and a first-time visor may spark his interest in these calmer waters. The son of Shantaram is feared most, ahead of Pull Again Green.

Consistent 8-y-o DARE TO SHOUT's penultimate second here looks all the more solid given his conqueror that day Myretown's most impressive success in the Ultima at Cheltenham last week. and, boasting a sound course record/no fears at the trip, he looks a sure-fire player again. This sort of test looks a minimum for Your Own Story nowadays but a positive ride in a first-time visor can see him go well at the foot of the weights. Pull Again Green completes the shortlist.

Consistent performer DARE TO SHOUT has bumped into some progressive sorts here this winter and can return to winning ways.

13:50 Kelso Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 24f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
6	6 (6) (10/1 -18%) Sacre Coeur	10 10/1(-18%)	(6) Sacre Coeur 10/1, Three-time winner last season and has scored twice during the current campaign, jumping superbly when making all in mares' handicap at Ludlow. Rare lapse when unseating rider back at that venue 3 weeks ago and this her first hurdles run since 2023. Has much better strike-rate over fences but entitled to respect in view of her chase form.
1	3 1st (3) (5/1 +50%) Lavida Adiva	5 5/1(+50%)	(3) Lavida Adiva 5/1, Progressive mare who bagged Aintree handicap (2½m, soft) on Boxing Day and ran every bit as well in defeat when not enjoying a smooth passage finishing second of 6 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (20.6f) last month. Slowly-run race against her at Ayr a fortnight ago. Up in trip. Something to find but the better ground & longer trip may be positives; not ruled out e-w.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 -14%) Ottizzini	4 4/1(-14%)	(5) Ottizzini 4/1, Fairly useful Irish hurdler who resumed winning ways at Ayr in November. Pulled up in handicap at Haydock (24.3f, heavy) but more like it at Doncaster since when second to Wyenot. 4 lb better off here. Held by Wyenot on Doncaster Listed form but could give another good account.
3	1 3rd (1) (11/8 +100%) Wyenot	1.375 11/8(+100%)	(1) Wyenot 11/8, Progressive mare with a good strike rate, her fifth success in 8 hurdles runs coming in a Doncaster listed race in December, jumping well and drawing clear before 2 out. Advanced her form when third in Grade 3 company a month later and that is the best form on offer. Listed win in December and third in Grade 2 since; leading claims now back down in grade.
4	4 4th (4) (500/1 -233%) My Lady Elektra	500 500/1(-233%)	(4) My Lady Elektra 500/1, Fair ex-French maiden hurdler but yet to fire here and right up against it on these terms with stamina also a potential issue. Maiden who has bundles to find in today's company.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (3/1 +54%) Gale Mahler	3 3/1(+54%)	(2) Gale Mahler 3/1, Likeable mare who made it 6 wins on the spin in Listed hurdle at Galway (2m) in July. Had a dip in form afterwards but bounced back with headgear refitted when creditable second to a decent sort at Musselburgh (23.8f) last month. Heavy defeat at Haydock needs casting aside. Stamina also to prove. Listed winner last July; hasn't kicked on from that since but she ran well two starts ago.

13:50 Kelso Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

WYENOT shaped better than the beaten distance suggests when finishing third in the Grade 2 Yorkshire Rose at Doncaster in January and she makes plenty of appeal reverting to Listed company. Henry Daly's mare is clear on the ratings and she looks capable of defying a 4lb penalty at this level. The biggest threat may emerge from progressive chaser Sacre Coeur, with Ottizzini the pick of the remainder.

The likeable WYENOT had Ottizzini and Gale Mahler behind when a commanding winner at Doncaster and having produced another excellent effort in Grade 3 company back there since, she'll be hard to beat despite a penalty. Lavida Adiva looks worth a try at this sort of trip so is selected to fill the forecast spot.

The highly admirable WYENOT can capitalise on the drop back in grade and add to her Listed win from Doncaster in December.

14:25 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 21f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
14	14 (14) (12/1 +14%) The Jeweller's Pet	12 12/1(+14%)	(14) The Jeweller's Pet 12/1, Low-mileage type who is on the up since sent handicapping, scoring twice at Ayr last month. Up another 7 lb but he remains one to consider in his hat-trick bid. Has won his last two; different conditions today but he's lightly raced and progressive.
1	16 1st (16) (12/1 +25%) Starlyte	12 12/1(+25%)	(16) Starlyte 12/1, Rejuvenated in recent starts and bagged back-to-back handicaps over C&D and at Newcastle in November. Posted another good effort when fifth at Musselburgh (2m4f) last time and can make her presence felt after a break. Perhaps ready for a break when last seen and was in good form previously; could go well.
2	6 2nd (6) (16/1 +20%) Imperial Data	16 16/1(+20%)	(6) Imperial Data 16/1, C&D winner who has been brought along steadily after 8 months off, not knocked about when seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Not without interest. In good form last May/June but hasn't been at the same level this year.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/2 +30%) I Am Max	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(5) I Am Max 7/2, Back on the up since reverted to hurdles and he posted a very good second of 11 in handicap at Haydock (21.2f, soft) 63 days ago. Up 5 lb but he's a likely player with few miles still on the clock. Runner-up the last twice and this lightly raced 7yo could continue to improve.
4	11 4th (11) (14/1 -155%) Ballyfort	14 14/1(-155%)	(11) Ballyfort 14/1, Advanced his form on the back of wind surgery when going in for the first time in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Ayr (16f, heavy) 15 days ago. Hiked up 9 lb but scored comfortably there so not taken lightly back up in trip. Won by 11l at Ayr following wind surgery and a 9lb rise may not stop him.
5th	4 5th (4) (17/2 -6%) Ashington	8.5 17/2(-6%)	(4) Ashington 17/2, C&D winner in September and refitted with cheekpieces for the first time since when bagging 9-runner handicap hurdle at Doncaster (20.8f, good) 8 days ago. Needs considering with headgear again sported. 10yo who has won on the last two occasions he's worn these cheekpieces, latest last Friday.
6th	15 6th (15) (25/1 -25%) Galahad Threepwood	25 25/1(-25%)	(15) Galahad Threepwood 25/1, Winless since early 2023 but he comes here in good form, refitted with a hood when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good) 19 days ago. Possibilities. Just one win from his 17 hurdle starts and looks vulnerable in this warm handicap.
7th	3 7th (3) (18/1 -80%) Harper Valley	18 18/1(-80%)	(3) Harper Valley 18/1, Reliable sort who resumed winning ways in 10-runner handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (19.8f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Usual visor replaces cheekpieces and he's well in the mix despite a 5 lb weights rise. Enjoying a consistent season and he won at Musselburgh last month; entitled to respect.
8th	7 8th (7) (40/1 -21%) Rafferty's Return	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) Rafferty's Return 40/1, Landed a pair of handicap hurdles in early 2024 but yet to fire this season, sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (19f) 13 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Down to a dangerous mark but this 10yo hasn't been competitive this season.
9th	8 9th (8) (7/1 +13%) Nordic Tiger	7 7/1(+13%)	(8) Nordic Tiger 7/1, Successful 3 times last season and resumed with a good fourth at Doncaster (19.4f) in November. Below par since though so others appeal more despite an easing mark. Return to form is needed but the better ground may help and he's on a handy mark.
10	10 \|U\| (10) (25/1 -213%) Achnamara	25 25/1(-213%)	(10) Achnamara 25/1, On the up and made it two wins from his last three starts in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good to soft) 40 days ago. Ought to be thereabouts despite having a 6 lb higher mark to overcome now. Two wins from his last three starts and there could still be mileage in his mark.
13	13 \|PU\| (13) (11/1 +45%) Ridin Solo	11 11/1(+45%)	(13) Ridin Solo 11/1, Gained reward for his consistency when opening his account in 11-runner maiden at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) last month. Holds solid claims back in handicap company. Won Sedgefield maiden last month but not obviously well treated on previous handicap form.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (12/1 -33%) Foster's Fortune	12 12/1(-33%)	(9) Foster's Fortune 12/1, Resumed winning ways at Sedgefield in December and has continued in good nick, third of 9 to Achnamara in handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f, good to soft) last time. Can't be ruled out. Two wins this season and has run well in defeat the last twice; each-way claims once more.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (13/2 +46%) Sayva	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(2) Sayva 13/2, Progressive type who bagged a pair of maiden hurdles at Newcastle and Hereford before posting a very good second of 11 on his handicap debut at Carlisle (2m3f) 13 days ago. Can go well again nudged up 1 lb. Fair 2nd on handicap debut at Carlisle and this lightly raced 5yo could have more to offer.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (14/1 +30%) Singapore Trip	14 14/1(+30%)	(12) Singapore Trip 14/1, French recruit who opened his account on British soil at Perth (20f) last May. Took a step back in the right direction when fifth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (19f) 13 days ago. Can make his presence felt off a 2 lb lower mark. Below last winning mark but hasn't shown enough this year to suggest he's the one to be on.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (28/1 -100%) Salsada	28 28/1(-100%)	(1) Salsada 28/1, Landed back-to-back 2m4f Sedgefield handicaps at the end of last year but came in a below-par fifth of 10 in 2m Newcastle handicap last time. Sort to bounce back though. Two wins at Sedgefield towards end of last year but only fifth at Newcastle last month.

14:25 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 21f Race Class Flow

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

A wind procedure proved just the trick for recent Ayr winner BALLYFORT and there should be more to come. Nick Alexander's gelding coasted home by 11 lengths and a 9lb hike may not be enough to prevent a brace. I Am Max found only a progressive rival too strong at Haydock 63 days ago and another bold bid is forecast. The seven-year-old is likely to be in the mix, along with last-time-out winners Achnamara and Ashington.

This is wide open but the vote goes to Sandy Thomson's low-mileage I AM MAX, who took a step forward when runner-up at Haydock last time and can continue his progress after another break here. Sayva is another improving sort and he heads the list of dangers, although Ballyfort, Achnamara, Ridin Solo and The Jeweller's Pet also need factoring into this competitive handicap.

Preference is for ACHNAMARA, who has won in good style on two of his last three starts. Sayva is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
12	12 (12) (12/1 -9%) Lizzie Luna	12 12/1(-9%)	(12) Lizzie Luna 12/1, Opened hurdles account when landing a 7-runner Musselburgh maiden (19.8f, good to soft) last month, clearly suited by moving up in trip. Not sure that dropping back in distance here will be a good thing but the likely strong pace could help in that respect and she's not without each-way hope. Seemed to benefit from step up to 2m4f on h'cap debut but not ruled out back down in trip.
1	10 1st (10) (22/1 +12%) Leloopa	22 22/1(+12%)	(10) Leloopa 22/1, Irish import who improved with each of her first 4 starts over hurdles for new yard, making all in mares' hurdles at Hereford and Huntingdon in October/November. However, she was safely held on handicap bow back from a break last month and Northern Air appears to be the stable No 1. Only seventh on handicap debut but may have needed the run; went there on a hat-trick.
2	7 2nd (7) (25/1 -25%) Sunset Hill	25 25/1(-25%)	(7) Sunset Hill 25/1, Opened hurdles account in 21f novice here in December before posting an excellent second of 7 in a Southwell handicap on New Year's Day. Has found life tougher since, though, and she doesn't appear to hold any secrets from the handicapper. The drop back in trip seems a likely negative but this course winner is not discounted.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/1 +30%) Game Colours	7 7/1(+30%)	(5) Game Colours 7/1, Pulled up on debut in November 2023 but subsequent wind operation has seemingly proved the catalyst for transformation, placed first 4 starts following that procedure and then opened her account in good style at Lingfield (2m, soft) where she slammed Rula Bula by 17 lengths. Solid each-way claims. Easily won 2m novice at Lingfield last month and is unexposed at this sort of trip.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 -17%) Walkadina	7 7/1(-17%)	(4) Walkadina 7/1, Made winning hurdles debut at Uttoxeter in November and there was no disgrace in her effort in listed company next time. Not at her best in novice events at Wincanton and Ludlow the last twice but it would be no surprise were she to take a step back in the right direction now handicapping. Underwhelming the last twice but not ruled out in view of her promise in November.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/1 +0%) Rula Bula	11 11/1(+0%)	(2) Rula Bula 11/1, Fairly useful in bumpers and perfect start in this sphere when a ready winner of mares' maiden at Market Rasen in November. Improved when second at listed level next time but form has dipped the last twice (beaten 17 lengths by Game Colours at Lingfield last time) and she needs to get back on track. Listed runner-up on good to soft in November; this return to better ground could be ideal.
6th	1 6th (1) (5/2 +50%) Surrey Belle	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(1) Surrey Belle 5/2, Fairly useful winner on the Flat and has taken well to hurdles, runner-up on first 2 starts in this sphere prior to landing the odds in mares' novice events at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) and Newcastle (20.3f, good). More on her plate under joint top-weight here but she's a major player nonetheless. Has won her last two and she brings potential to this handicap hurdle debut.
7th	11 7th (11) (8/1 -7%) Barrabool	8 8/1(-7%)	(11) Barrabool 8/1, Made the most of a good opportunity in 3-runner Plumpton maiden on hurdles debut in November. Well held next time but back on track when 6½ lengths second to Tour Ovalie at Taunton (16.5f, soft) last time and meets that rival on significantly better terms now handicapping. One to consider. Ran well last time and retains potential now back on better ground for handicap debut.
8th	3 8th (3) (7/1 +30%) Tour Ovalie	7 7/1(+30%)	(3) Tour Ovalie 7/1, Progressive mare who completed the hat-trick in a Newbury handicap in December. Added to her tally when taking an 11-runner Taunton mares' novice (16.5f, soft) last month and subsequent effort at the Cheltenham Festival was no backward step. However, she's on a stiff mark back in handicap company. Prolific this season and could have more to offer now back at a realistic level.
9th	8 9th (8) (25/1 -79%) Green Sky	25 25/1(-79%)	(8) Green Sky 25/1, Fairly useful Flat winner who has placed 3 times from 6 starts over hurdles, leaving Joseph O'Brien after final outing last season. Good third in big-field Navan maiden on penultimate start in November but proved a let-down back from a break at Newcastle and she needs to raise her game. 0-7 over hurdles and improvement needed; Flat ability suggest she may be capable of better.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (13/2 -8%) Northern Air	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(9) Northern Air 13/2, Point winner who improved on the back of a second wind op and with a tongue strap enlisted when landing a mares' maiden at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) in January. That form is working out well and she's of strong interest now handicapping off what looks a fair opening mark. Won maiden hurdle at Taunton in January and is in good hands to continue to progress.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (80/1 -400%) Assorda	80 80/1(-400%)	(6) Assorda 80/1, Claimed from Gabriel Leenders' yard for €21,506 after scoring at Pau and provided an immediate return on investment when landing a 4-runner Catterick novice (15.7f, good to firm). Had luck on her side that day (left in the lead at the final flight), though, and more needed now handicapping. Ex-French; fortunate to win on British debut and she's not obviously well treated.

15:00 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

The progressive SURREY BELLE is the most attractive option as she bears down on a hat-trick. It's hard to put a gauge on what the daughter of Golden Horn actually achieved by winning her latest start by 57 lengths, but she is clearly heading in the right direction and may have more to come. Fellow last-time-out winner Northern Air is feared most, while Walkadina and Barrabool are the pick of the remainder.

Harry Derham has his string in good order and fields an appealing candidate here in BARRABOOL, who couldn't match strides with Tour Ovalie in a Taunton novice but she has a good chance of reversing those placings on these revised terms now pitched into a handicap, while the forecast quicker ground may also aid her cause. There are dangers aplenty, with Northern Air feared most ahead of the hat-trick seeking Surrey Belle and Walkadina.

The Harry Derham-trained BARRABOOL (nap) could be on a good mark back on better ground for her handicap debut and she earns the vote.

4	4 (4) (6/1 -50%) Bollingerandkrug	6 6/1(-50%)	(4) Bollingerandkrug 6/1, Showed improved form switched to front-running tactics last season, landing a hat-trick over C&D between May and November. Below form since, however, and possibly not straightforward these days. 10yo who has a regressive profile but this 6-time C&D winner has dropped down the weights.
1	6 1st (6) (8/13 +78%) Flash Du Pistolet	0.615385 8/13(+78%)	(6) Flash Du Pistolet 8/13, Ex-pointer who took a step forward to open his account at Newcastle 3 weeks ago, responding well to front-running tactics. Can go well again. Made all at Newcastle this month to get off the mark and he's respected up 6lb.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/1 -71%) Escapeandevade	6 6/1(-71%)	(1) Escapeandevade 6/1, Took his form up a notch with headgear enlisted last term, winning 3 on the spin. Not so good this season, however, markedly so last twice. Ended last season with a hat-trick; hasn't shone this season but is down to dangerous mark.
3	3 3rd (3) (10/1 -54%) Lively Citizen	10 10/1(-54%)	(3) Lively Citizen 10/1, Hurdles winner at Ffos Las last spring and returned to form back chasing when scoring at Ayr in January. Never looked like following up there since but this looks less competitive. Tongue strap on 1st time. Won at Ayr in January; lesser run there since but not ruled out in first-time tongue-tie.
4	5 4th (5) (22/1 -38%) Duty Calls	22 22/1(-38%)	(5) Duty Calls 22/1, Winner of this race 2 years ago and also scored over C&D 12 months ago. Has offered little this season but still worth keeping an eye on in the betting all the same. Two-time course winner but this 12yo has been pulled up/well beaten on his last four runs.
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 -150%) Gold Des Bois	10 10/1(-150%)	(2) Gold Des Bois 10/1, Endured a long losing for Iain Jardine but made his second start for Sandy Thomson a winning one at Kelso in November. Found a class 2 too demanding at Musselburgh on New Year's Day but should make much more of an impact here. Pulled up over 2m4f at Musselburgh last time but 2m1f here is very much his thing.

15:35 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Victorious over C&D on his penultimate start, GOLD DES BOIS is better than he managed when tried at a higher level at Market Rasen last time out. However, the three-time C&D winner returns to his favourite venue with a big chance of further success. Flash Du Pistolet, who made all at Newcastle 19 days ago, is also back here with solid claims off just 6lb higher. Lively Citizen and Escapeandevade are the best of the rest.

FLASH DU PISTOLET showed some improvement when an all-the-way winner at Newcastle last time and appeals as the most likely winner up against exposed rivals. Gold des Bois is feared most back down in class.

Only one of these produced a positive performance last time and FLASH DU PISTOLET can follow up his win at Newcastle.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (6/1 -33%) Malicash	6 6/1(-33%)	(3) Malicash 6/1, Fairly useful form in bumpers for Ewan Whillans and belatedly built on a promising hurdling debut to get off the mark in 8-runner novice at Carlisle (19.3f) last month, jumping on 2 out and asserting final 50 yds. Should be competitive under a penalty. Gained breakthrough win at Carlisle last month after wind surgery; more progress possible.
2	5 2nd (5) (9/2 +59%) Highland Fashion	4.5 9/2(+59%)	(5) Highland Fashion 9/2, Produced a performance more in keeping with his fair bumper form when third in 8-runner maiden at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Open to further progress. 0-7 under rules but has made frame last three starts; not ruled out in first-time headgear.
3	2 3rd (2) (5/2 +9%) Joecooker	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(2) Joecooker 5/2, Winner of a Wexford bumper for Mary E Doyle last summer and opened hurdles account on third start for current yard in maiden at Hexham (20.1f) in December. Not disgraced in the face of stiffer tasks last 2 outings and should go well now reverting to calmer waters. Solid candidate who was respectable sixth in C&D handicap three weeks ago.
4	4 4th (4) (50/1 -150%) Harry Bright	50 50/1(-150%)	(4) Harry Bright 50/1, Made little impact in a brace of bumpers but showed more switched to hurdling when sixth of 11 in 2m Warwick novice 13 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Unplaced in bumpers/novice hurdle; lots to find but this step up in distance looks a plus.
5th	7 5th (7) (66/1 +34%) The Three J's	66 66/1(+34%)	(7) The Three J's 66/1, Well held in bumper/pair oif juvenile hurdles. Little promise in three outings to date; difficult to recommend.
1	1 \|F\| (1) (6/5 +40%) Rocheval	1.2 6/5(+40%)	(1) Rocheval 6/5, Unbeaten in 3 outings last season, namely an Aintree bumper and juvenile hurdles at Ayr and at Carlisle. Lost his unbeaten record with a whimper in Grade 2 at Haydock but resumed his progress when second on handicap debut here (22.7f) last month. Drop back to 2½m will suit and big chance. Improved form when second here last month; big player if handling this less testing ground.

16:10 Kelso Novices Hurdle (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Joecooker has faced a couple of stiff assignments recently but Rebecca Menzies' gelding merits the utmost respect back in a novice. Rocheval should give another good account of himself too, having hit the woodwork in a handicap over the extended 2m6f here last month, but preference is for MALICASH. Wind surgery appeared to work the oracle for Donald McCain's charge, who opened his account at Carlisle last time out. The son of Malinas should have more in the locker and if that is the case, he will go close.

ROCHEVAL resumed his progress in no uncertain terms when runner-up on his handicap debut here the previous month and, with a drop back to 2½m sure to suit, he's taken to defy a double penalty. Joecooker and Malicash are obvious threats.

The ground will probably be less testing than he's used to but ROCHEVAL fits the bill otherwise. Joecooker is a solid alternative.

16:45 Kelso NH Flat Race (Class 2) 16f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
7	7 (7) (100/1 -203%) Mr Mcloughlan	100 100/1(-203%)	(7) Mr Mcloughlan 100/1, Flat pedigree. Offered something to work on amidst inexperience when third of 6 on Newcastle bumper debut 19 days ago but he'll need to leave that bare form behind to get heavily involved here. Open to improvement if settling better on second run but others have much stronger claims.
1	6 1st (6) (9/1 +44%) Is This For Real	9 9/1(+44%)	(6) Is This For Real 9/1, £80,000 point winner outing who never landed a blow on his Aintree bumper debut on Boxing Day. Fitted with a tongue strap now. May do better. British point winner; interesting to see how he goes in the betting on second bumper start.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/4 +44%) Kiwi Rush	1.25 5/4(+44%)	(2) Kiwi Rush 5/4, Runner-up on second outing in Irish points. Weakened on Sandown bumper debut in November but saw things out a lot better when making all over C&D (soft) last month. May do better again for powerful Southern yard. Won over C&D on second bumper start and open to further improvement; Patrick Mullins rides.
3	10 3rd (10) (50/1 -25%) Miss Friday Lions	50 50/1(-25%)	(10) Miss Friday Lions 50/1, Modest form both starts and will need to find some improvement to play a prominent role. Has shown ability on both starts (including C&D) but a chunk of improvement is needed.
4	8 4th (8) (25/1 -108%) Loveatfirstglance	25 25/1(-108%)	(8) Loveatfirstglance 25/1, 11/1, modest form when 13 lengths third of 9 on Newcastle debut (good to soft) last month. Ran green so should be wiser for the experience. Improvement needed on second start but from a family her stable has done very well with.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 +60%) Bel Ombre	8 8/1(+60%)	(5) Bel Ombre 8/1, Brother to dual bumper winner Avakate but has achieved only modest form in his 2 bumper starts. Has shown ability on both bumper starts but improvement is needed today.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/2 -100%) Out Of The Woods	4.5 9/2(-100%)	(3) Out Of The Woods 9/2, Looked a useful prospect when making a winning start to his career in a 14-runner Ayr bumper (heavy) in January. Taken to follow up. Belied 16-1 odds to win on debut at Ayr and that form has been franked; respected.
7th	9 7th (9) (10/1 -11%) Caballo De Guerra	10 10/1(-11%)	(9) Caballo De Guerra 10/1, Soldier of Fortune gelding who shaped well in bumpers at Wetherby (heavy) and Ayr (soft) in December/January. Part of a strong hand in this for his stable. Third this winter on first two starts and could take a step forward now in a hood.
8th	4 8th (4) (14/1 -75%) Peckforton Hills	14 14/1(-75%)	(4) Peckforton Hills 14/1, Left debut behind when winning a 6-runner Carlisle bumper (soft) 47 days ago. That bare form doesn't look anything special so he'll need more to defy a penalty. Won at Carlisle on second run; others have more substance to their form but he's unexposed.
9th	1 9th (1) (15/2 +25%) Humble Jumble	7.5 15/2(+25%)	(1) Humble Jumble 15/2, Won 7-runner C&D bumper (good to soft) on debut in November. One of 3 runners for his stable. Should have more to offer. Won on debut over C&D in November and he could have plenty more to offer.

16:45 Kelso NH Flat Race (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

KIWI RUSH folded tamely on his racecourse bow, but it was a different story when making all to record a comfortable success over C&D next time. Harry Derham employs the services of Patrick Mullins aboard to son of Mahler, and that is perhaps noteworthy as he bids to follow up. Lucinda Russell has a trio of chances, and Ayr scorer Out Of The Woods could be the pick of them. Others to note include Peckforton Hills and Is This For Real.

OUT OF THE WOODS created a good impression on his Ayr debut and is taken to make it 2-2, perhaps at the main expense of stablemate Caballo de Guerra, who shaped well on both starts around the turn of the year. Harry Derham is building up a healthy strike-rate with his runners north of the border and last month's all-the-way C&D winner Kiwi Rush completes the shortlist.

Lucinda Russell has a strong hand and preference is for OUT OF THE WOODS, whose debut win at Ayr in January has been franked.

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.
