The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(8) Kaizer 2.5/1, Respectable fifth in first-time cheekpieces here over Christmas and followed that up with a good second at Newcastle (without headgear). Player on current form.
9
2nd (9) (2.75/1 +31%) Dequall
2.75
2.75/1(+31%)
(9) Dequall 2.75/1, Didn't take to fences in December and he was rather laboured back hurdling at Wetherby, but latest third in this headgear at Newcastle was more encouraging and he has been eased another 2 lb.
5
3rd (5) (4.5/1 +0%) Milvale
4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(5) Milvale 4.5/1, Only win to date came in handicap here (23f) off 5 lb higher 2 years ago but not far off his best fitted with this headgear when third here (23f) 5 weeks ago. Not taken lightly.
2
4th (2) (8.5/1 -6%) Taxmeifyoucan
8.5
8.5/1(-6%)
(2) Taxmeifyoucan 8.5/1, Has struggled for form in varied events since 3¼m Musselburgh win a year ago though caught the eye at Newcastle 16 days ago, so worth keeping an eye on with Brian Hughes retaining the ride.
3
5th (3) (25/1 +0%) Silva Eclipse
25
25/1(+0%)
(3) Silva Eclipse 25/1, Fairly useful hurdler/chaser at his best but not built on his return effort in 3 subsequent starts, including when back over hurdles at Wetherby on Boxing Day. Blinkers re-fitted and bit to prove.
1
6th (1) (25/1 -108%) Chapel Stile
25
25/1(-108%)
(1) Chapel Stile 25/1, Back to form returned to fences with Carlisle win a year ago. Found out in better company when pulled up in Scottish National but ran no sort of race on return. Blinkers applied back hurdling.
4
|PU| (4) (6.5/1 -160%) Highland Sting
6.5
6.5/1(-160%)
(4) Highland Sting 6.5/1, Lightly-raced sort. Opening mark looks a fair one on the pick of his form in maiden/novice hurdles. Well held at Thurles 11 days ago but yard is 3-9 with handicap hurdle debutants in last 12 months.
6
|RR| (6) (18/1 -13%) Final Reminder
18
18/1(-13%)
(6) Final Reminder 18/1, Didn't take to chasing last term but back on track over hurdles in May, causing 50/1 shock at Ayr prior to a good third at Cartmel later that month. Has gone well fresh previously.
LTO Selection:
13:50 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(6) Ring Pretender 10/1, £22,000 3-y-o, Great Pretender mare. Half-sister to French 17f hurdle winner Reel Blood. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Looked in need of the run when fourth of 5 in a bumper at Ayr last month.
4
1st (4) (2.25/1 +18%) Bella Bluesky
2.25
2.25/1(+18%)
(4) Bella Bluesky 2.25/1, Bumper winner last March. Struggled in various company after but much more like it when second despite going off huge odds in a novice at Newcastle 16 days ago.
1
2nd (1) (12/1 +14%) Augharue
12
12/1(+14%)
(1) Augharue 12/1, Fourth of 5 finishers in his sole Irish point. Minor promise in bumpers to end 2021 but needs to raise his game now hurdling.
7
3rd (7) (6.5/1 -30%) Ultra Violet
6.5
6.5/1(-30%)
(7) Ultra Violet 6.5/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France and stepped forward from his hurdling debut when third in a juvenile at Musselburgh in November. Fitted with headgear and let down by jumping switched to a handicap.
5
4th (5) (80/1 -100%) Fethard Glory
80
80/1(-100%)
(5) Fethard Glory 80/1, Modest form in bumpers (left Gavin Cromwell prior to reappearance) but very low-key start over hurdles.
2
|F| (2) (3/1 +25%) Domandlouis
3
3/1(+25%)
(2) Domandlouis 3/1, Bred more for stamina than speed and looked badly in need of the experience in a Kelso bumper on debut in May. Solid start over hurdles but this may not tap into his stamina back in trip.
3
|U| (3) (2.5/1 -11%) Ginger Mail
2.5
2.5/1(-11%)
(3) Ginger Mail 2.5/1, Half-brother to yard's useful hurdler/chaser Elvis Mail. Runner-up in an ordinary bumper in October and made a promising first fist of hurdling when fifth at Ayr. Well related and sure to improve.
LTO Selection:
14:20 Kelso Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Mount Melleray 6.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler/chaser in Ireland, third over fences at Cork in November. Didn't look any more straightforward on yard/British debut recently and switches back over the larger obstacles.
4
1st (4) (2.5/1 +25%) Upandatit
2.5
2.5/1(+25%)
(4) Upandatit 2.5/1, Still to get his head in front, disappointing back down in trip when sixth of 7 at Ayr (20.5f, soft) last month. Handicapper relinquishes his grip and he may have a say in proceedings.
5
2nd (5) (4/1 +86%) Morningside
4
4/1(+86%)
(5) Morningside 4/1, Winning pointer who proved modest in handful of starts over hurdles. Limited impact on first of 2 starts over fences last year and improvement required on reappearance for all his mark is easing.
2
3rd (2) (2/1 +0%) En Meme Temps
2
2/1(+0%)
(2) En Meme Temps 2/1, Fair 19f winner at 19f over hurdles who made promising start in this sphere when second in 20f handicap at Ayr. Similar form at Sedgefield last month and could have a major say in this.
3
4th (3) (2.75/1 +8%) Without Conviction
2.75
2.75/1(+8%)
(3) Without Conviction 2.75/1, Has taken well to fences, and she opened her account in 20f handicap chase at Hexham in December. Seemed unsuited by the slow pace at Newcastle recently so certainly worth another chance.
LTO Selection:
14:50 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(5) Peterborough 4/1, Landed a handicap chase hat-trick in 2020 and arrives here having filled the frame on each of his last 3 starts over hurdles, latterly at Ludlow (15.7f) in November. Worth a look back over fences.
4
2nd (4) (11/1 -47%) Sword Of Fate
11
11/1(-47%)
(4) Sword Of Fate 11/1, Did the job in good style at Perth (2m) in September and better than he could show at Musselburgh a month later having lost ground at the start. Back from a break and worth a look.
2
|F| (2) (2.25/1 +63%) Pitempton Power
2.25
2.25/1(+63%)
(2) Pitempton Power 2.25/1, Hasn't looked back since switched to chasing, landing back-to-back novices' handicaps at up to 20f this term. Not disgraced from career-high mark when fourth here (21.6f) latest and not discounted.
1
|U| (1) (3/1 -20%) Dubai Days
3
3/1(-20%)
(1) Dubai Days 3/1, Multiple hurdles winner who opened chase account in 4-runner novices' handicap at Ayr (20.5f) in December. Left poorly placed when third at Sedgefield (21f) since and expected to be in the mix again.
3
|U| (3) (3.2/1 -60%) Lucky Flight
3.2
3.2/1(-60%)
(3) Lucky Flight 3.2/1, Not the easy to predict but from easing mark he ran well when runner-up in a C&D handicap in December, his finishing effort not matching how he travelled. Down another 1 lb and not ruled out.
LTO Selection:
15:20 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Lalochezia 7.5/1, Modest hurdler who was back on track despite an inadequate test when second in a 4-runner event at Catterick 3 weeks ago. Return to this trip should suit, but has a bit to find.
1
2nd (1) (1.25/1 +50%) Firth Of Forth
1.25
1.25/1(+50%)
(1) Firth Of Forth 1.25/1, Fair form in bumpers and matched that level at the third attempt over hurdles when runner-up at Newcastle recently. That form looks solid, and he should go well again.
3
3rd (3) (3/1 -71%) Pat's Pick
3
3/1(-71%)
(3) Pat's Pick 3/1, Fair hurdler who ran with credit when fourth in novice at Ayr on debut for this yard (formerly with Noel Meade). Has looked fragile to date, but obvious claims if he can back that up.
5
4th (5) (5/1 +23%) So They Say
5
5/1(+23%)
(5) So They Say 5/1, £30,000 5-y-o, Malinas mare. Dam 2½m hurdle winner (stayed 3m). Won sole start in points (Nov 21). Tongue tie on and a notable Rules newcomer.
4
5th (4) (10/1 -186%) River Meadow
10
10/1(-186%)
(4) River Meadow 10/1, Could only manage seventh of 11 on his Ayr bumper debut in November but the fact he went off at only 5/2 suggests he must have been showing something at home. Steps up in trip for hurdle debut.
LTO Selection:
15:50 Kelso Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(1) Elvis Mail 4/1, Useful hurdler/chaser with good record at this track, barely adequate test when only second in 2m handicap hurdle here last time. Leading claims back up in trip.
3
1st (3) (14/1 +0%) Saint D'oroux
14
14/1(+0%)
(3) Saint D'oroux 14/1, Useful hurdler but final outings in Ireland were a bit underwhelming. Has moved yards since, and back in calmer waters after 9 months off. Interesting if he stays.
5
2nd (5) (6/1 -20%) Aurora Thunder
6
6/1(-20%)
(5) Aurora Thunder 6/1, Back to form when landing an 8-runner event at Musselburgh 33 days ago. Now on career-high mark, but likely to give a good account once more.
2
3rd (2) (7.5/1 -15%) Voix Du Reve
7.5
7.5/1(-15%)
(2) Voix Du Reve 7.5/1, Smart at best and, having been given a chance by the handicapper, showed he retains ability when fourth to Aurora Thunder at Musselburgh a month ago. Could turn the tables with that rival.
4
4th (4) (20/1 -67%) Ashington
20
20/1(-67%)
(4) Ashington 20/1, Successful in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield in March and a novice chase at Hexham in June. Disappointing on the Flat/over hurdles lately but cheekpieces go back on (has worn them on the Flat).
7
5th (7) (14/1 -40%) Voodoo Doll
14
14/1(-40%)
(7) Voodoo Doll 14/1, Scored at Taunton in October and, with visor refitted, was quickly back on track when a staying-on fifth at Ludlow 43 days ago. Respected in another change of headgear.
6
|U| (6) (0.5/1 +64%) Famous Bridge
0.5
0.5/1(+64%)
(6) Famous Bridge 0.5/1, Third in an Irish bumper and made his second hurdle start a winning one at Ayr in November. Good second at this course under a penalty next time, and opening mark looks potentially lenient.

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.
