Effective at around 2m. Ran well in big-field bumper at the Punchestown festival when last seen; leading player.
2	8 2nd (8) (6/1 +57%) Timefortom	6 6/1(+57%)	(8) Timefortom 6/1, Improved to win a maiden at Quakerstown over 3m by 2½l last time. A 3m point winner who has joined a good yard capable of readying them first time out. Off the mark at the third attempt in Irish points; sold for £75,000 since.

4	2 4th (2) (100/1 -100%) Blue Indigo	100 100/1(-100%)	(2) Blue Indigo 100/1, Probably needed the run when comfortably held in a bumper over 2m here on debut. Showed minor promise in points but needs to progress now switched to hurdles. Modest sixth in Kelso bumper on the switch to rules.
5th	5 5th (5) (9/1 +0%) Kelvin Forlonge	9 9/1(+0%)	(5) Kelvin Forlonge 9/1, Raced wide and was outpaced but shaped with promise when fourth, beaten 8¼l, in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Hexham last time. Can improve now stepped up in trip. Chance of winning depends on whether he improves for the new trip.
6th	7 6th (7) (66/1 -65%) Rightbackatyou	66 66/1(-65%)	(7) Rightbackatyou 66/1, Probably needed the run when comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m at Hexham last time. Could fare better when stepping up in trip from 2m. Has modest rules form at about 2m.
7th	6 7th (6) (100/1 +0%) Knightphase	100 100/1(+0%)	(6) Knightphase 100/1, Pulled up in a maiden hurdle over 2m4f at Ayr last time. A 3m point winner who has yet to show anything of note or complete under rules. Pulled up in two maiden hurdles at Ayr for new stable.

13:58 Kelso (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Dramatic License heads over from Ireland after winning at Downpatrick but he only got up to score by a neck and may have to settle for a place giving 7lb to all of his rivals. GREAT FLEET won his bumper at Market Rasen before finishing ninth at Newbury, but the point-to-point second should be a different proposition upped in trip over hurdles. Conman John seems the pick of the Russell/Scudamore trio and could run into a place.

Back in calmer waters, CONMAN JOHN looks particularly interesting. Great Fleet and Dramatic License look the main dangers.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (7/4 +50%) The Navigator	1.75 7/4(+50%)	(6) The Navigator 7/4, Won this race last year; ran to form when suited by an aggressive ride to land a handicap hurdle by 4 1/4l off 98 here last time; unreliable veteran but remains well treated on old form. Readily made all over C&D last month, his 14th career success; 5lb higher today.
2	7 2nd (7) (50/1 -25%) Red Force One	50 50/1(-25%)	(7) Red Force One 50/1, Scored by a head off 54 over 2m2f at Musselburgh three starts back; up in trip and did not stay when tenth, beaten 41l off 105 last time; best on fast ground, effective at 2 1/2m, but not the force of old. Small-field Flat winner in August but well beaten when back over hurdles last month.
3	8 3rd (8) (4/1 +43%) Fostered Phil	4 4/1(+43%)	(8) Fostered Phil 4/1, Improved on recent efforts when dropped in grade to land a 2m4f handicap by a length off 98 at Perth last time; effective at 2-2 1/2m and remains well treated on old form. Kept on well for low-grade win at Perth last month; has more on his plate here.
4	2 4th (2) (7/2 -5%) Maghlaak	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(2) Maghlaak 7/2, Forced wide and up in trip when possibly not staying down the field in a 2m2f handicap at Musselburgh last time; effective at 2m and just about gets 2 1/2m; in decent form when last seen over hurdles. Second when upped to 2m4f at Market Rasen in July; still unexposed over this sort of trip.
5th	5 5th (5) (17/2 +29%) Starlyte	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(5) Starlyte 17/2, Outpaced and outclassed when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle here last time; usually held up and appears on a stiff mark. Didn't fire here last month but was dual C&D winner last season and this mark is workable.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/2 -65%) The Gray Ghost	5.5 11/2(-65%)	(1) The Gray Ghost 11/2, Outclassed up in grade and well beaten in a handicap hurdle at Kempton last time; had shown good form before that and is usually held up. Absent since March but began year in good form and may still have potential.
7th	4 7th (4) (40/1 -43%) Jakana	40 40/1(-43%)	(4) Jakana 40/1, Reported lame and comfortably held in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Perth last time; inconsistent; returns from a short break. Ran quite well on yard debut in June but off since lesser effort in July; others preferred.
8th	3 8th (3) (18/1 -300%) Asa	18 18/1(-300%)	(3) Asa 18/1, Fell in a 3m1f handicap hurdle at Catterick last time; progressive during the spring over 3m on good to soft going in both hurdles and fences. Wide-margin winner at Southwell in February; cheekpieces missing on this reappearance.

14:33 Kelso (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

THE NAVIGATOR won this last year off a mark of 97 but he has gone on from there with a win here last month which sees him race off 104. He drops two classes after making all last month for a comfortable success, and could well come home in front for the 15th time. Asa hasn't been seen since falling at Catterick in February but won three of her previous four starts and looks a big danger, leaving Perth winner Fostered Phil to chase them home.

He has fitness to prove but low-mileage 6yo THE GRAY GHOST has travelled from Wiltshire to run here and gets the nod.

15:13 Kelso (Class 4) 16f - 13 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (13/2 +0%) Caballo De Guerra	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(9) Caballo De Guerra 13/2, Below form when beaten 10l in a bumper here last time; previously showed promise in 2m bumpers with some cut in the ground. Ties in closely with stablemate Triple Crown Ted on one piece of bumper form.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 +64%) Kool Raoul	5 5/1(+64%)	(3) Kool Raoul 5/1, Below form when down the field in a Perth bumper last time but had been in good form previously; showed minor promise in 2m bumpers with some cut in the ground. On bumper form he's one of the weaker contenders among his yard's quintet.
3	8 3rd (8) (3/1 -100%) Triple Crown Ted	3 3/1(-100%)	(8) Triple Crown Ted 3/1, Went clear and raced wide when second, beaten 7 1/2l, in an Ayr bumper last time, having gone too freely; effective at 2m with cut and has more to offer over hurdles if ridden less aggressively. Solid promise in Ayr bumpers last winter; open to progress over hurdles; respected.
4	1 4th (1) (11/2 -10%) Animato	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(1) Animato 11/2, Showed minor promise when fourth, beaten 6 1/4l, in a maiden hurdle at Worcester on debut; a multiple Flat winner over 2m and should benefit from that initial experience. Fairly useful at best on Flat; ran encouragingly at Worcester on the switch to hurdles.
5th	7 5th (7) (22/1 -175%) Slievehill	22 22/1(-175%)	(7) Slievehill 22/1, Needed the run when fourth, beaten 31l, in a maiden hurdle at Worcester on debut; multiple 3m point winner who showed bumper promise and is versatile ground wise; likely to improve over further under rules. Two point wins in Ireland; may improve with Worcester reappearance under his belt.
6th	5 6th (5) (150/1 -50%) Masterminding	150 150/1(-50%)	(5) Masterminding 150/1, Improved on his final qualifying run but was comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Perth last time; yet to show much over hurdles. Has weak claims on form.
7th	11 7th (11) (33/1 -18%) Drop Kick	33 33/1(-18%)	(11) Drop Kick 33/1, Keen on debut and comfortably held in a novice hurdle at Perth last time; showed promise in a point prior but needs to find improvement. Suffered a heavy defeat when last seen.
8th	12 8th (12) (200/1 -100%) Fran The Man	200 200/1(-100%)	(12) Fran The Man 200/1, Had every chance but was well beaten in a novice hurdle at Perth last time; effective over 2m on good ground though inconsistent in bumpers. Has totally failed to back up debut form.
9th	4 9th (4) (150/1 -500%) Lyndon Red	150 150/1(-500%)	(4) Lyndon Red 150/1, Pulled up in a 2m1f Carlisle bumper last time; has shown nothing in bumpers so far and has plenty to prove. Far from solid on bumper form.
13	13 \|U\| (13) (9/2 +55%) Linalene	4.5 9/2(+55%)	(13) Linalene 9/2, Below form when up in grade and beaten 9 1/2l in a Perth bumper last time; in good form prior and effective at 2m on soft or good ground; the form of his penultimate bumper run has been franked. One of five hurdles debutants for this yard; market may offer further guidance.
10th	6 10th (6) (33/1 -32%) Passion For Glory	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) Passion For Glory 33/1, Outpaced but showed promise when beaten 10l in a Uttoxeter novice hurdle on debut; returns from a short break and should progress over trips further than 2m. Never-dangerous fifth at Uttoxeter on rules debut.
11th	2 11th (2) (10/3 +44%) Humble Jumble	3.333333 10/3(+44%)	(2) Humble Jumble 10/3, Finished down the field when below form under a penalty in a stronger bumper here last time; effective at 2m on good to soft ground, though the form of his bumper win has taken knocks. Both bumper starts at Kelso; won on debut and may yet confirm that promise.
12th	10 12th (10) (250/1 -150%) Chiefman	250 250/1(-150%)	(10) Chiefman 250/1, Never involved when down the field in a Hamilton 8f handicap most recently; effective from 7f to 10f and handles most ground, but has regressed on the Flat and is best watched over hurdles. Flat form for current yard is largely poor; switches to hurdles.

15:13 Kelso (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Slievehill won two point-to-points by wide margins in 2024 and was entitled to need his first run in 18 months when fourth at Worcester, but he might not have the pace for this trip and should be better over further in time. TRIPLE CROWN TED was second in both his Ayr bumpers but is bred to be better over hurdles and could be the class act here, while Animato, a five-time winner on the Flat, was not disgraced when fourth on his hurdling debut.

The shortlist comprises TRIPLE CROWN TED, Humble Jumble and Animato. Check the market signals for further guidance.

15:43 Kelso (Class 4) 26f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/1 +55%) Ashtown Lad	5 5/1(+55%)	(4) Ashtown Lad 5/1, Possibly found the ground too fast when well beaten in a handicap chase at Uttoxeter last time. Off a short break and needs to prove ability remains. Not particularly solid on his form for new yard but this is a drop in class.
2	5 2nd (5) (8/1 -23%) Saint Arvans	8 8/1(-23%)	(5) Saint Arvans 8/1, Did not find much when comfortably held in a 3m handicap chase at Perth last time. Suited by a sound surface but currently out of form. Record of 3-6 at Kelso; interesting off an attractive mark back here.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 +0%) Half Shot	3 3/1(+0%)	(2) Half Shot 3/1, Unable to dominate when fourth, beaten 20l, in a 2m6f handicap chase here last time. Likes to force the pace, a Kelso specialist but inconsistent. Well treated on plenty of form, including close second in this race two years ago.
4	3 4th (3) (5/2 0%) Wal Buck's	2.5 5/2(0%)	(3) Wal Buck's 5/2, Ran below form when beaten 8l in a 3m handicap chase at Perth last time, having been in good form before. May ideally prefer easier ground but good mark on winter form. Largely progressive RPRs as a novice chaser last season; gained his win over 3m1f.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/2 +40%) Cooper's Cross	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(6) Cooper's Cross 9/2, Stable won this last year. Made mistakes, was outpaced and ran below form when well beaten in a 2m4f handicap chase at Perth last time. Off a short break and has a bit to find. Runner-up in 2023 Scottish National; mostly dismal form since.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (9/2 -29%) Kilmore Rock	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(1) Kilmore Rock 9/2, Made mistakes, was outpaced and unsuited by a change of tactics when 30l third in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Hexham last time. Enjoys making the running, returns from a break, and may contend. May rebound provided he takes well to chasing; 3-4 since wearing cheekpieces.

15:43 Kelso (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Kilmore Rock was a disappointing favourite when bidding to complete a four-timer at Hexham when last seen. However, he is better than he managed there and could bounce back having been freshened up by a break. Heed the betting market on his first start since June. Nevertheless, with match-fitness on his side, dual course winner HALF SHOT shades preference from 2lb below his last winning mark. Saint Arvans also goes well here and could be a better alternative than Wal Buck's on these terms.

Second-season chaser WAL BUCK'S remains open to further improvement and is first choice ahead of Half Shot.

1	6 1st (6) (8/1 -33%) Shakeyatailfeather	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Shakeyatailfeather 8/1, Improved again up in grade but flattened out late when comfortably held in the 2m5f Summer Plate Handicap Chase at Market Rasen last time. In good form before that, usually held up, and returns from a short break; remains progressive. Ran creditably in the Summer Plate; consistent this year; likely to give her running.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 -27%) Traprain Law	3.5 7/2(-27%)	(2) Traprain Law 7/2, Pulled up in the Scotty Brand Handicap Chase at Ayr last time. Enjoys making the running and looks the pick on race times but losing run is mounting up. Ran poorly when last seen; however, 3-6 at Kelso and returns here off a workable mark.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/1 -11%) Tommy's Oscar	5 5/1(-11%)	(1) Tommy's Oscar 5/1, The yard has won three of the last five renewals of this race. Probably did not stay when 19l third in a 2m4f handicap chase at Perth on his latest run; a clear threat here. Record in this race comprises a win (off 4lb higher) in 2023 and below-par third in 2024.
4	3 4th (3) (7/2 +13%) Finest View	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(3) Finest View 7/2, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off 132 at Stratford last time. Suited by 2m on a sound surface; progressive though the handicapper may be catching up. Consistent mare who has form figures of 111222 this season; again has solid claims.
5th	4 5th (4) (15/8 +58%) Malystic	1.875 15/8(+58%)	(4) Malystic 15/8, Built on a recent return to form, aided by a late faller when landing a handicap by 1/2l off 129 here last time. Suited by 2m on good ground; frustrating but clearly back in form. Regained the winning thread in C&D event last time; remains well treated on peak form.

16:18 Kelso (Class 2) 17f Race Class Flow

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

The winner of this race in 2023 and third in last year's edition, TOMMY'S OSCAR has a solid chance of further success from a competitive current mark. Rain won't be an issue for still-enthusiastic 10-year-old, who has won after a break in the past and could be best caught fresh these days. Finest View has been highly consistent of late and could be hard to keep out of the frame in this company, while Shakeyatailfeather is dangerous to underestimate on these terms.

Off his current mark, MALYSTIC (nap) could well make it fourth time lucky in this race. Second pick is Tommy's Oscar.

1	5 1st (5) (10/3 +58%) Looking Splendid	3.333333 10/3(+58%)	(5) Looking Splendid 10/3, Keen, ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off 93 over 2m3f at Carlisle last time; generally consistent; a threat. Still a maiden but has been placed a few times off current mark; in the mix.
2	11 2nd (11) (17/2 -89%) Top Tier Gossip	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(11) Top Tier Gossip 17/2, Outpaced and looked in need of further when comfortably held in a novice hurdle over 2m1f at Newton Abbot last time; cheekpieces first time; effective at 2 1/2m; from a top yard but one for handicaps. Sibling to two winners for her major yard; open to improvement now handicapping; respected.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/1 +44%) Be The Difference	9 9/1(+44%)	(7) Be The Difference 9/1, Unsuited by drop in trip, needed the run when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Uttoxeter most recent; usually held up and wants 3m. All wins in this grade, the most recent off this mark last December.
4	14 4th (14) (28/1 +30%) Darkest Day	28 28/1(+30%)	(14) Darkest Day 28/1, Made too much use of when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m2f here most recent; enjoys making it but regressive. On a long losing run and has poor claims on this season's form.
5th	6 5th (6) (13/2 +35%) Dalileo	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(6) Dalileo 13/2, Well held by less exposed rivals when comfortably beaten in a handicap hurdle over 3m at Perth last time; ideally wants 3m. Campaigned mostly at Perth this term; form has dipped in last few starts.
6th	2 6th (2) (15/2 +6%) Flawless Clarity	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(2) Flawless Clarity 15/2, Outpaced but improved on his final qualifying run, 15l third in a novice hurdle over 2m at Uttoxeter last time; returning from a break and will do better in handicaps. Steadily moving in the right direction under rules; interesting handicap debutant.
7th	10 7th (10) (28/1 +30%) State Of Honor	28 28/1(+30%)	(10) State Of Honor 28/1, Race may have come too soon when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Perth last time; probably wants at least 2 1/2m. Couple of unconvincing performances for new stable.
8th	9 8th (9) (11/2 +21%) Coventry	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(9) Coventry 11/2, Made mistakes and was well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Perth last time; a tricky ride who appears to be regressing. Not particularly solid on this season's efforts; long time since sole win.
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (11/4 +31%) Aquitaine Boy	2.75 11/4(+31%)	(3) Aquitaine Boy 11/4, Preferred a slightly stiffer test when fourth, beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Market Rasen latest; consistent. Ended last season in a consistent vein of form; frame possibilities.
8	8 \|PU\| (8) (18/1 -13%) Red Ned	18 18/1(-13%)	(8) Red Ned 18/1, Disappointing on handicap debut when down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Ayr most recent; returning from a long layoff; effective at 2m with cut but yet to prove up to this mark. Weak claims on hurdles form; second handicap attempt.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (100/1 -100%) Ovidstown Hill	100 100/1(-100%)	(4) Ovidstown Hill 100/1, Unseated in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Perth last time; cheekpieces on for the first time; may need a bit further than 2m. Chance largely depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear.

16:53 Kelso (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Aquitaine Boy posted several creditable efforts in defeat at the back end of last season and he must enter calculations on his return to action. However, Ruth Jefferson's veteran doesn't appear to be hiding anything from the assessor and it could be worth chancing handicap debutant TOP TIER GOSSIP. The daughter of Getaway appears to be on a workable mark and this step up in trip, \long with the application of first-time cheekpieces, could be the making of her. Looking Splendid is the pick of the remainder.

The Verdict comprises the interesting handicap newcomers TOP TIER GOSSIP and Flawless Clarity.

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.
