| Race | Horse | Form | Odds | Rating | Weight | Age | Jockey | Trainer | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13:40 Kelso | (1) Percy's Word |  | | | | 10 | Aaron Anderson | Jessica Bedi | Easy win in a Newton Abbot seller (2m2f, good) for Dan Skelton in September 2022 but he's not been since then; well treated on his old handicap form but he's untried beyond 2m4f and has something to prove for new yard after a long absence. |
| 13:40 Kelso | 3rd (2) Billy Boi Blue | | | | | 7 | Jonathan Burke | David Killahena & Graeme McPherson | Delivered on earlier promise when winning Hereford maiden (2m3f, good) in January and was not discredited when second of three on his latest outing; might have some more improvement to come in handicaps and he's respected on this step back up in trip. |
| 13:40 Kelso | 1st (3) Idem | | | | | 6 | Patrick Wadge | Lucinda Russell | Won last year on first two hurdle starts including at this track (2m5f, good); no joy in last three runs but he looked dangerous when falling two out at Wetherby in March and his latest fifth at Ayr (3m, soft) was a respectable effort; now drops back in trip and he's not ruled out back at the scene of his last win. |
| 13:40 Kelso | (4) Magic Wave | | | | | 8 | Jamie Hamilton | Mark Walford | Bumper and 2m4f maiden hurdle winner, both on good to soft; flopped when favourite on Wetherby handicap debut (pulled up) in February, but he still has potential after only four hurdle starts and it wouldn't be a surprise if he bounced back with a big run after a break. |
| 13:40 Kelso | (5) Brandy McQueen | | | | | 7 | Edward Austin | Harriet Graham & Gary Rutherford | Four-time hurdle winner who won by 19l over fences here (2m7f, good to soft) in October; well treated on that form but he's lost his way in last four starts and was well held back over hurdles last time; has something to prove and he needs to turn things around; cheekpieces removed. |
| 13:40 Kelso | (6) Harper Valley | | | | | 7 | Ross Chapman | Rebecca Menzies | Made it 3-8 over hurdles when scoring at Catterick (2m3f, heavy) in February; creditable third over 2m5f here (soft) next time but he didn't fire on his return visit three weeks ago; cheekpices are now added on this drop back in grade but he needs more progress. |
| 13:40 Kelso | (7) Ilikedwayurthinkin | | | | | 10 | Richie McLernon | Ben Haslam | Very useful hurdler/chaser in his prime but he struggled in final few starts in Ireland and it's been the same story so far for this yard; mark continues to fall but this 10yo needs a major revival back up in trip. |
| 13:40 Kelso | (8) Kingston Bridge | | | | | 6 | Craig Nichol | Ewan Whillans | 6yo who has not been easy to predict but he got back on the scoresheet when beating 15 rivals in a series final here (2m5f, soft) last month; up 6lb but he kept on well last time and is open to more progress back up in trip; shortlisted. |
| 13:40 Kelso | (9) Pure Sirloin | | | | | 6 | Henry Brooke | Sandy Forster | Won for Gavin Cromwell in Ireland at start of 2023, but left that stable after two disappointing efforts last summer and makes debut for Sandy Forster after 233 days off; others have more pressing claims. |
| 13:40 Kelso | 2nd (10) Dream Boy | | | | | 6 | Sam Coltherd | Stuart Coltherd | Won 2m course maiden (heavy) in December; finished fourth in all three runs since but he was only beaten 3l behind Kingston Bridge in a big-field handicap here (2m5f, soft) last time; rallied well in that race and he looks interesting on his step up to this trip. |
| 13:40 Kelso | 4th (11) Swallows Song | | | | | 6 | Conor O'Farrell | Iain Jardine | Bumper winner who is 0-8 over jumps and has been held in chase handicaps in his last three runs; wasn't beaten far here (2m7f, soft) last time but this is a much deeper race and he needs to find more back over hurdles. |
| 13:40 Kelso | (12) Haveyougotmymoney | | | | | 6 | Bruce Lynn | Paul Robson | Ended last year on a low note but he won at Southwell (3m, good) in the autumn and was a close second on next two runs including at this track (3m2f, soft); drops back in trip after 142 days off but he has a decent record when fresh and is not ruled out. |
| 13:40 Kelso | (13) Starlyte | | | | | 7 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | Well handicapped on his old form but last win was in November 2022 and he's come up short in small-field events here (3m2f/2m5f) in last two runs; others are more persuasive. |
| 13:40 Kelso | (14) Kajaki | | | | | 11 | Danny McMenamin | Nicky Richards | Won off today's mark at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last April, but well beaten last autumn on last two starts and others make greater appeal than this 11yo; visor is removed and blinkers return. |
| 13:40 Kelso | (15) Swift Reply | | | | | 8 | John Kington | Simon Waugh | Lightly raced 8yo but he struggled in a Southwell handicap (2m4f, soft) when last seen in February and is a long way out of the weights here on his return; opposable. |
| 14:10 Kelso | 1st (1) Magical Hill | | | | | 5 | Henry Brooke | Patrick Neville | Third in an Irish point and the same this year in soft-ground bumpers at Catterick and Market Rasen; weak 8-1 shot on hurdling debut at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month but he made all and scored with something in hand; this is much tougher under a penalty but he has a good pedigree and is open to progress upped in trip. |
| 14:10 Kelso | 11th (2) Beechmount | | | | | 7 | Tom Midgley | Chris Grant | Pulled up in sole point and he's struggled at massive prices in three hurdle runs (2m4f/2m5f) since September. |
| 14:10 Kelso | 12th (3) Blue Plan | | | | | 5 | Ross Chapman | Rebecca Menzies | Cost 1,700euros as a foal; brother to a bumper/2m4f hurdle winner but this looks a tough assignment on his debut and he's probably best watched. |
| 14:10 Kelso | 5th (4) Looking Splendid | | | | | 6 | Bruce Lynn | Harriet Graham & Gary Rutherford | Finished down the field at big prices in three bumpers and same story in two hurdle runs this year; has a lot to find here and minor handicaps will be more suitable. |
| 14:10 Kelso | 7th (5) Major Champion | | | | | 5 | Danny McMenamin | Maurice Barnes | Pulled up in three of his four points and was tailed off in the other one; tongue-tie is now added but he can only be watched on his hurdling/stable debut. |
| 14:10 Kelso | (6) Pinot Rouge | | | | | 6 | Edward Austin | Susan Corbett | Irish point winner who has improved with each of her three hurdle runs, including a win in a mares' Listed race at Doncaster (3m, soft) in March and a rallying fourth in Grade 1 Sefton at Aintree last month; now drops back in trip but she sets clear a standard here and should be hard to beat back in much calmer waters. |
| 14:10 Kelso | 8th (7) Rock N Roll Champ | | | | | 6 | Craig Nichol | Sandy Forster | 0-5 in Irish points and was a remote sixth of 12 at a big price here (2m2f, soft) on his hurdling debut last month. |
| 14:10 Kelso | 4th (8) Sea God | | | | | 5 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | Winning British pointer who was an easy winner of two-horse bumper at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft; 1-5) in December; this is a very different test but he has stamina in his useful jumping pedigree and is an interesting recruit to hurdling; new yard won this in 2022. |
| 14:10 Kelso | (9) Split The Bill | | | | | 6 | Aaron Anderson | Rebecca Menzies | Inconsistent nine-race maiden; fair third of eight in Aintree handicap (2m4f, good) on stable debut last June but he's not been seen since and this looks tough back in a novice after 327 days off; others preferred. |
| 14:10 Kelso | 10th (10) Telemetry | | | | | 6 | Thomas Dowson | Philip Kirby | Closely related to a 2m4f/2m5f hurdle winner; second in a Wetherby bumper (2m, good to soft) on debut last April but hasn't matched that form in two runs this year; now goes up in trip on his hurdling debut but he needs major improvement. |
| 14:10 Kelso | 2nd (11) Tigga Time | | | | | 5 | Ryan Mania | Sandy Thomson | Won a soft-ground point on debut last spring; showed promise in first two runs under rules (bumper/2m4f hurdle) this winter but his form went the wrong way when a remote fourth here (2m2f) last month; has bit to prove after that and he will have better opportunities in handicaps. |
| 14:10 Kelso | 6th (12) Disco Annie | | | | | 6 | Nathan Moscrop | Rebecca Menzies | Runner-up in Irish point in November 2022 but she's struggled in three bumpers since including after wind surgery at Ayr last month; now goes hurdling over a longer trip but she has plenty to prove; one of three runners for yard. |
| 14:10 Kelso | 3rd (13) Killybegs Jet Lady | | | | | 7 | Alan Doyle | Lucinda Russell | Won an Irish point at the end of 2022 but she's not shown much in three hurdle runs since October; was reported to have made a respiratory noise over C&D in March and remains best watched for now; stablemate of Sea God. |
| 14:10 Kelso | 9th (14) Para Handy | | | | | 4 | Jamie Hamilton | Tim Easterby | Beaten more than 30l at Wetherby (bumper/hurdle) in first two starts and was pulled up at Hexham (2m4f, heavy) in March; no appeal. |
| 14:40 Kelso | (1) Captain Quint | | | | | 8 | Craig Nichol | Rose Dobbin | Ground and trip fine but let down by jumping on first venture south at Newbury last time; cheekpieces worn last twice left off; not without a chance. |
| 14:40 Kelso | 3rd (2) Empire De Maulde | | | | | 10 | William Maggs | James Ewart | Handles good ground, has gone well fresh and has slipped in the weights; out of sorts when last seen but interesting down in grade with rider removing 7lb; usual tongue-tie/cheekpieces left off. |
| 14:40 Kelso | (3) Hidden Commander | | | | | 9 | Sam Coltherd | Stuart Coltherd | Good record over fences at this venue but well beaten on last two starts, including over hurdles last time; claims back over fences, although all rules wins have been within 32 days of a previous run. |
| 14:40 Kelso | 1st (4) No Regrets | | | | | 10 | Sean Quinlan | Nicky Richards | Won twice over fences last year (on good and soft) but below best when last seen in February; has run well over C&D and claims if first-time visor (replaces cheekpieces) perks him up. |
| 14:40 Kelso | 4th (5) Raceview Road | | | | | 6 | Jonathon Bewley | George Bewley | 3-5 in points and improved to win on chase/handicap debut here last time (fourth won next time); should appreciate this trip and, although quicker ground to contend with, won both point starts on good to yielding; interesting from 5lb higher. |
| 14:40 Kelso | 2nd (6) Everyday Champagne | | | | | 8 | Bruce Lynn | N W Alexander | Hurdle and dual chase winner who may not have been suited by soft ground on last two starts; conditions here should be more to liking and he's back on same mark as for last win. |
| 14:40 Kelso | (7) Castletown | | | | | 12 | Patrick Wadge | Lucinda Russell | Veteran with an ordinary strike-rate but does like these conditions; should be better for a recent spin over hurdles but surprise if there's not one or two too good back over fences. |
| 14:40 Kelso | (8) Domandlouis | | | | | 7 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | Good-ground hurdle winner at this meeting two years ago and, although 0-9 over fences, it's easy to overlook last two below-par efforts on heavy; no surprise should he do much better this time. |
| 15:10 Kelso | (1) Jake Stevens | | | | | 6 | Henry Brooke | Patrick Neville | Best effort when second at Sedgefield on penultimate outing; returns form a four-month break and looks open to progress now handicapping at an ordinary level; one to consider. |
| 15:10 Kelso | (2) Ritson | | | | | 9 | Aaron Anderson | Rebecca Menzies | Far from solid on recent chase form; drops back in class for return to hurdling and is attractively handicapped off current mark but has stamina to prove back up in distance. |
| 15:10 Kelso | 1st (3) Faithfulflyer | | | | | 7 | Ryan Mania | Sandy Thomson | Well held in a better race over C&D last month; returns to a suitable level, having gained both wins in this grade, and is competitively weighted on best form; not ruled out. |
| 15:10 Kelso | (4) Longstone Cowboy | | | | | 8 | Ross Chapman | Hugh Burns | Bits of promise in 2022 but has been absent since a dismal effort (on handicap debut) just over a year ago; best watched unless the market speaks positively. |
| 15:10 Kelso | 2nd (5) Call Me Jack | | | | | 5 | Jamie Hamilton | Mark Walford | Has form figures of 1211, all on heavy ground, since handicapping; justified favouritism at Newcastle (2m4f) the last twice; underfoot conditions aside, he's an improving 5yo who warrants respect. |
| 15:10 Kelso | (6) The Blame Game | | | | | 10 | William Maggs | James Ewart | Big question mark over current form, having been pulled up in both outings last term, and has never won away from Sedgefield; not the percentage call. |
| 15:10 Kelso | 5th (7) Beat The Boum | | | | | 5 | Danny McMenamin | Jackie Stephen | Made some late headway, without ever threatening, in 2m2f novice event here last month; not totally solid on form but looks a possible improver back up in trip on handicap debut. |
| 15:10 Kelso | 3rd (8) Pateen | | | | | 12 | Joe Williamson | Jessica Bedi | Veteran who is competitively treated on return from layoff, having slipped back to last winning mark; however, the step back up in distance doesn't look ideal; all wins at about 2m. |
| 15:10 Kelso | (9) Sword Of Fate | | | | | 11 | Brian Hughes | Leonard Kerr | Campaigned mostly over fences; well beaten on last attempt over hurdles but is nicely treated if this goes better; chase mark is 10lb higher; won in this sphere in 2017 and 2021. |
| 15:10 Kelso | (10) Dirk Gently | | | | | 7 | Jonathan Burke | David Killahena & Graeme McPherson | Ten-race maiden who has some encouraging form (over hurdles/fences) and gives the impression there's an ordinary handicap in him; this southern raider has possibilities on return from layoff. |
| 15:10 Kelso | (11) Monty Nevett | | | | | 5 | Conor O'Farrell | Micky Hammond | Best effort for previous yard came over 2m1f; poor form for current stable and has a stamina doubt back up in trip. |
| 15:10 Kelso | 4th (12) Boot 'N' Shoe | | | | | 6 | Nathan Moscrop | Rebecca Menzies | From a good family; made the frame in a couple of AW bumpers at Newcastle; has struggled in maiden/novice hurdles at about 2m on soft/heavy ground but may do much better in this different scenario on handicap debut; fitting of tongue-tie and cheekpieces is another possible help; has an attractive opening mark and looks interesting. |
| 15:10 Kelso | (13) Fiadh | | | | | 8 | Tom Midgley | Chris Grant | Defied a 2lb higher mark at Wetherby (3m, soft) in March 2023; good chance on that form but was badly out of sorts last season and needs to stage a big revival. |
| 15:10 Kelso | (14) Bolt Man | | | | | 6 | Callum Bewley | Ian Duncan | Seven-race maiden who has been absent since looking a non-stayer over 3m at Ayr 14 months ago; aptly drops back in distance on return to action; the betting may offer further guidance. |
| 15:10 Kelso | (15) Arctic Lodge | | | | | 8 | Sam Twiston-Davies | D J Jeffreys | Similar type to Dirk Gently, being a southern raider who has bits of encouraging form (point/hurdles); absent since last June; may improve off a reduced mark on only his third handicap attempt. |
| 15:10 Kelso | (16) Bullion Boss | | | | | 8 | Sean Quinlan | Nicky Richards | Record is only 1-28; has suffered a couple of heavy defeats since returning from two-year absence; still needs to prove he retains ability. |
| 15:45 Kelso | 3rd (1) Brucio | | | | | 6 | Ben Bromley | S R B Crawford | Progressive mare; won a Catterick maiden in January (1m7f, soft); bettered that by some way when landing a Listed mares' handicap in February (2m2f, soft) which resulted in a 16lb rise; down 4lb after below-par effort at Aintree; may find others better handicapped. |
| 15:45 Kelso | 1st (2) Lily Du Berlais | | | | | 8 | J J Slevin | S R B Crawford | Several decent efforts over hurdles, all with give in the ground; off the mark in a mares' maiden at Ayr last time (2m, soft) having been well beaten at 8-15 at Catterick on previous start (1m7f, soft) when returning from a break; going a concern and this looks tougher. |
| 15:45 Kelso | 2nd (3) Politacus | | | | | 6 | Liam Harrison | Fergal O'Brien | Has won mares' handicaps at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) and Hereford (2m5f, soft) on her last two starts; up another 6lb (13lb rise in total) but of more concern is whether she will be as effective over this sharp 2m on better ground; cheekpieces now tried. |
| 15:45 Kelso | (4) Mighty Moth | | | | | 6 | Robert Dunne | Noel Williams | Progressive mare; off the mark in a Hereford mares' maiden in February (2m, soft; made all) before finishing second in a Stratford mares' handicap last time (2m, good to soft; didn't jump well); good run in a Cheltenham bumper on good ground last April; interesting. |
| 15:45 Kelso | (5) Micks Jet | | | | | 6 | Joe Williamson | Philip Kirby | Pulled up in a mares' Listed novice at Cheltenham last time (2m4f, good) having won a mares' maiden at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) on her previous start; this ground is fine, but she may not be so effective at 2m. |
| 15:45 Kelso | (6) Strong Belle | | | | | 6 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Nigel Twiston-Davies | Off the mark in a mares' maiden at Bangor last time (2m, heavy); has run well on good ground; worth considering. |
| 15:45 Kelso | (7) Shakeyatailfeather | | | | | 5 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Yet to win a race but sound efforts last two starts, finishing runner-up to a three-time winner at Kempton in March (2m, good to soft) before 7.5l-second to Lily Du Berlais (now 11lb worse off) at Ayr (2m, soft); could go well on h'cap debut. |
| 15:45 Kelso | 4th (8) Linda Moon | | | | | 5 | Jack Quinlan | Neil King | Plumpton bumper winner last April (2m, soft); best run over hurdles when runner-up to a smart mare in a Taunton novice in February (2m, good); tongue-tie tried; interesting on handicap debut. |
| 15:45 Kelso | (9) Spit Spot | | | | | 5 | Craig Nichol | Lucinda Russell | Dual AW Flat winner at round 1m6f; has improved since going handicapping over hurdles, best run when 10l-second to an improver in mares' race at Doncaster in March (2m, heavy; winner now rated 14lb higher); may improve again on this better ground. |
| 15:45 Kelso | (10) Mary | | | | | 5 | Brian Hughes | Ian Williams | Placed in two bumpers (third to Mick's Jet at Cheltenham in April 2023); decent efforts first two starts over hurdles, but hasn't progressed (hampered when seventh in a 2m4f Cheltenham handicap last time). |
| 15:45 Kelso | (11) Brendas Asking | | | | | 6 | Ciaran Gethings | Kim Bailey | Second in an Irish point in October 2022 (3m, good); yet to win over hurdles; creditable fourth to a smart sort in a mares' novice at Taunton in February (2m, good) but a bit to find with runner-up Linda Moon on that run. |
| 15:45 Kelso | (12) Dameofthecotswolds | | | | | 4 | James Turner | Nigel Twiston-Davies | Huntingdon bumper winner in November (1m5f, good); some fair efforts over hurdles, notably when back on decent ground and a neck-second in a juvenile filles' handicap at Cheltenham last time (2m; finished well clear of the remainder); up 4lb and 4lb out of the handicap, but might still be the answer. |
| 16:20 Kelso | 7th (1) A Wave Of The Sea | | | | | 8 | Richie McLernon | Ben Haslam | Made the frame for Joseph O'Brien in two good handicaps last August/October and he's on a handy mark on that form; no worthwhile in his four races for this trainer, albeit with the latest at Cheltenham Festival, so this is a big drop in class; takes a major drop in trip as well; market can guide. |
| 16:20 Kelso | 8th (2) Frere d'Armes | | | | | 7 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | No wins since November 2022 and out of form this winter but he's shown enough on latest two outings to suggest he can be thereabouts. |
| 16:20 Kelso | 5th (3) Parisencore | | | | | 8 | Danny McMenamin | Nicky Richards | Second in handicaps (2m, good to soft) this winter in his only two chases, before a fair effort back over hurdles in February on latest outing; needs to improve on his chase form. |
| 16:20 Kelso | 4th (4) Pay The Piper | | | | | 9 | Sean Quinlan | Ann Hamilton | 3-20 over fences, with latest win in February 2023; out of form last term but he's well down the weights and final start was a big step back in the right direction, so he can't be dismissed. |
| 16:20 Kelso | 1st (5) Guy | | | | | 9 | Sam Twiston-Davies | Nigel Twiston-Davies | Had become well treated again when scoring at Hereford (2m, good to soft; 7lb higher again today) in January; 33-1 in a much better race when tailed off at Aintree four weeks ago, when soft ground may also have been against him; should be more interesting again today. |
| 16:20 Kelso | 9th (6) Bollingerandkrug | | | | | 9 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | Has a superb record at Kelso and his four wins here last year included this race; out of form elsewhere on his latest three outings but is now 1lb below his last winning mark and he's back at Kelso, so it's easy to give him a good shout. |
| 16:20 Kelso | 2nd (7) Coastguard Station | | | | | 8 | Henry Brooke | Henry Oliver | Second at Ascot in March, despite jumping left throughout, and won when returned to a left-handed track at Fakenham (also about 2m, good) in April; they were just five-runner races but he had better form two seasons back and may be returning to that sort of level. |
| 16:20 Kelso | 6th (8) Gold Des Bois | | | | | 10 | Conor O'Farrell | Iain Jardine | Lost his form in the winter but second of five off this mark over C&D in March on latest outing was better and he's well treated judged on form as recent as October; cheekpieces are enlisted. |
| 16:20 Kelso | 3rd (9) Fearless | | | | | 9 | Brian Hughes | Danny Brooke | He's dropped to a good mark having underperformed in his three runs this winter; off 11 weeks; needs one of his peak efforts, such as his placed form last August/October. |
| 16:20 Kelso | (10) Duty Calls | | | | | 11 | Lewis Stones | Sandy Forster | Two wins and three seconds from his 11 races at Kelso, the latest win delivered in clearcut style under Lewis Stones in March last time out; that was on soft and he has more to prove on good ground but the form gives him a chance despite being 4lb out of the handicap. |
| 16:55 Kelso | 1st (1) Dedicated Hero | | | | | 5 | Ryan Mania | Sandy Thomson | Third in two Irish points last spring before changing hands for £40,000; kicked off his rules career with a promising third at Carlisle (2m1f, heavy) in October and he built on that when beating 11 rivals over C&D (soft) in February; just about sets the standard under a penalty here and he's a big player back from another break. |
| 16:55 Kelso | 4th (2) Kingston James | | | | | 5 | Patrick Wadge | Lucinda Russell | Bought for £30,000 after winning a 2m4f British point (good to soft) in November; heavily backed into 4-1 on rules debut at Ayr (2m, good) in March and he made all to score with plenty in hand; this is tougher under a penalty but he looks a promising type and is strongly respected. |
| 16:55 Kelso | (3) Off To Alabama | | | | | 6 | Sean Quinlan | John Mackie | Shock winner from off the pace at Wetherby (soft; 66-1) on his debut in February but he struggled under a penalty at Doncaster 18 days later; that may have come too soon but he comes with risks attached after that heavy defeat. |
| 16:55 Kelso | 3rd (4) Battle Born Lad | | | | | 5 | Jamie Hamilton | Mark Walford | Two placed efforts on heavy ground at Newcastle this spring, and the latest can be marked up because he almost ran out with a circuit to go but then worked his way back into contention before finishing a clear second; both pieces of form put him firmly in the picture here and he's an interesting contender. |
| 16:55 Kelso | (5) Diamond Mix | | | | | 5 | Craig Nichol | Paul Robson | 21,000euros yearling; weak 15-2 shot on his Carlisle debut (2m1f, heavy) in October and he got outpaced before finishing a well-held sixth of ten; has a lot to find on that form and he could be a longer-term prospect. |
| 16:55 Kelso | (6) Disco Davis | | | | | 5 | Harry Skelton | Dan Skelton | Successful in the second of his two attempts in British points last year; shaped with promise on his rules debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in January and he backed that up with a close third of 16 at Ludlow last month; needs to find something extra here but he's a well-bred type who should have more to offer for top yard. |
| 16:55 Kelso | (7) Fairly Fulling | | | | | 6 | Ben Smith | Jane Walton | Failed to complete in two Irish points last spring; well-held fourth of eight on rules debut at Sedgefield in October and he failed to build on that when tailed off at Carlisle 16 days later; hood now goes on and he's best watched on his return. |
| 16:55 Kelso | (8) Flaubert | | | | | 6 | Brian Hughes | Donald McCain | Easily won Irish maiden point (3m, good) last May on second start and changed hands for £48,000 later that month; held in 5l second when favourite on rules debut at Mussleburgh (1m7f, soft) in January but that was a solid effort under a positive ride and he should improve for the experience; not ruled out on his return. |
| 16:55 Kelso | 2nd (9) Highland Fashion | | | | | 5 | Conor O'Farrell | Ian Duncan | Well-held fifth in his two bumpers ten months apart, more recently at Carlisle (14-1) in February; has plenty to find on the figures here and is best watched. |
| 16:55 Kelso | (10) Theonetowatch | | | | | 5 | Sam Coltherd | Stuart Coltherd | Eyecatching sixth of 15 on Ayr debut (good to soft) in November but he finished out the back behind Dedicated Hero over C&D in February; has something to prove back from another break and this looks a tough assignment. |
| 17:25 Kelso | (1) Dressedforsuccess | | | | | 11 | Mr Nick Orpwood | James Latham | Fairly useful five-time chase winner in his prime but last success was two years ago and he's been pulled up in hunter chases in both runs for new yard this year. |
| 17:25 Kelso | 1st (2) Go On Chez | | | | | 8 | Mr Harry Myddelton | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Useful handicap chaser who returned from break to make winning hunter chase debut at Ludlow (3m, good) two weeks ago; did that in good style and he's the standout contender at the weights here; should be hard to beat. |
| 17:25 Kelso | 3rd (3) Shanroe Street | | | | | 14 | Mr Gregor Walkingshaw | G Walkingshaw | Veteran hunter who won at Perth (3m, good) last May and was a close second at Hexham (3m, heavy) on his comeback last month; should run his race again but this is a tough assignment on adjusted figures. |
| 17:25 Kelso | 2nd (4) Windsor Avenue | | | | | 12 | Mr Jack Teal | Jack Teal | Smart chaser at his best and he still retains quite a bit of ability; has mixed record this year and was pulled up in Foxhunters' at Aintree last time but he's been in much calmer waters now and was runner-up at Catterick (3m1f, soft) on his penultimate run; dangerous if in the mood. |
| 17:25 Kelso | 4th (5) Teds Charley Roe | | | | | 11 | Miss Lucy Brown | Mrs Jacqui Irvine Lang | Sole win from 16 points was in a match in February and he was well held in that sphere last time; now makes his hunter chase debut as an 11yo and is best watched. |
| 17:25 Kelso | (6) The Macon Lugnatic | | | | | 10 | Miss Isobel Mactaggart | Mrs K B Mactaggart | Pulled up in his last two runs over regulation fences last spring and no joy in two points this year; last win was over hurdles in 2021 and hard to know how much ability remains; opposable. |
