Races & Results Wednesday 4th May 2022
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(3) Castletown 4/1, Creditable in-frame efforts over hurdles last 2 starts but has a 0-22 chase record. This small field obviously provides a reasonable chance for him to break his duck but Hidden Commander could prove a tough not to crack.
2
2nd (2) (0.8/1 -29%) Hidden Commander
0.8
0.8/1(-29%)
(2) Hidden Commander 0.8/1, This point winner has made a positive start over fences for his new yard, landing handicaps around 21.5f here and at Ayr last month. Further 9 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him in this line-up.
1
3rd (1) (2.12/1 +29%) Deluxe Range
2.12
2.12/1(+29%)
(1) Deluxe Range 2.12/1, Winning hurdler. His efforts over timber this spring (in cheekpieces) have been respectable but he made an inauspicious start to his chase career in 2 attempts at the end of 2021. Headgear on first time over fences.
LTO Selection:
13:40 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(7) Lock Down Luke 3.33/1, Bumper winner who matched previous best over hurdles when fourth under Brian Hughes at Newcastle (20.3f) in March, keeping the errors down. Doesn't shape like he's in need of this trip, though.
4
2nd (4) (2.5/1 +9%) Goodtimes Badtimes
2.5
2.5/1(+9%)
(4) Goodtimes Badtimes 2.5/1, Well backed with a tongue tie added to usual cheekpieces and doubled tally for last season at Musselburgh in March. Had a bit in hand on that occasion but isn't one for maximum faith.
1
3rd (1) (28/1 -211%) Dalileo
28
28/1(-211%)
(1) Dalileo 28/1, Successful from 3 lb lower at Perth in September. Struggled to make an impact in Irish handicaps to end 2021 but given a break and this is easier.
5
4th (5) (4/1 -33%) Lissen To The Lady
4
4/1(-33%)
(5) Lissen To The Lady 4/1, Enhanced excellent record here when registering another C&D win a month ago, doing in ready fashion despite a mistake at the last. 9 lb rise won't prevent another very bold bid.
9
5th (9) (3/1 +33%) Dr Shirocco
3
3/1(+33%)
(9) Dr Shirocco 3/1, Down in the weights and back on track to an extent this spring, fourth in a first-time tongue tie at Newcastle last month. Step back up in distance looks in his favour and he's been eased a further 1 lb.
6
6th (6) (10/1 -11%) Bollingerandkrug
10
10/1(-11%)
(6) Bollingerandkrug 10/1, Won twice over shorter trips here in 2020/21 but failed to add to tally in a light campaign last season. Plugged on for fifth here last month following a breathing operation and looks worth a try at this trip.
8
7th (8) (50/1 -150%) Golden Chancer
50
50/1(-150%)
(8) Golden Chancer 50/1, Wasted no time getting back to form and showed a good attitude to boot as he won 27f Sedgefield handicap hurdle in September. Something of an all-or-nothing profile and well held both starts since.
3
8th (3) (18/1 -64%) The Blame Game
18
18/1(-64%)
(3) The Blame Game 18/1, Both hurdle wins gained over 2½m at Sedgefield, the latter in August. Creditable second in 3m Musselburgh handicap in November but suffered brace of heavy defeats since (including over fences).
2
9th (2) (100/1 -150%) Lord Condi
100
100/1(-150%)
(2) Lord Condi 100/1, Won 2 handicap hurdles at Perth (23.9f) for Iain Jardine last summer but has shown little in 3 runs for new yard so far. Back up in trip with headgear still missing.
LTO Selection:
14:15 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(4) Domandlouis 12/1, Bred more for stamina than speed and predictably appeared to find things happening too quickly for him before coming down 2 out (3 lengths behind eventual runner-up but plugging on) at this track (16.2f) 3 months ago. Back up in trip so he merits consideration.
2
2nd (2) (16/1 +36%) Charlie Uberalles
16
16/1(+36%)
(2) Charlie Uberalles 16/1, £44,000 5-y-o, Geordieland gelding. Brother to modest hurdler Atomic Angel. Dam unraced out of sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (2½m-3¼m winner) Hell's Bay. Placed on last 3 of 4 starts in Irish points (latest May 2021) and has had a breathing operation.
3
3rd (3) (66/1 -164%) Curley Finger
66
66/1(-164%)
(3) Curley Finger 66/1, Twice-raced in bumpers for Gordon Elliott, better effort when third at Thurles (13½ lengths behind Rath Gaul Boy) in February. Worth a market check on hurdles bow for new yard.
6
4th (6) (0.67/1 +55%) Spanish Present
0.67
0.67/1(+55%)
(6) Spanish Present 0.67/1, Off the mark in a 7-runner event at Market Rasen in February and ran about as well as could have been expected when finishing mid-field in Champion Bumper at Cheltenham 3 weeks later. Interesting hurdling debutant.
1
|F| (1) (1.88/1 -71%) Bravo Team
1.88
1.88/1(-71%)
(1) Bravo Team 1.88/1, Completed a simple task when landing a Clonmel maiden in March. Not disgraced in a first-time tongue strap when third at Limerick since, keeping on from 2 out after outpaced home turn, so this step up in trip makes him of obvious interest.
7
|PU| (7) (200/1 -100%) Divas Doyen
200
200/1(-100%)
(7) Divas Doyen 200/1, Just minor promise in Ireland for Declan Queally and she's been pulled up on both outings for this yard, latest at this track (18.1f) back in December. Can only be watched after those efforts.
LTO Selection:
14:50 Kelso Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(4) Rapid Raider 2.12/1, Stepped up on the back of a wind op, completing hat-trick at Musselburgh (23.7f) in December. Remained in form subsequently, just found wanting for change of pace in a steadily-run affair when fourth at Newcastle latest. Not discounted up in trip.
3
2nd (3) (3/1 -9%) Ecossais
3
3/1(-9%)
(3) Ecossais 3/1, Three-time winner over fences at Southwell during 2020/21 campaign. Form has been a little up and down more recently but he did run respectably when fourth at aforementioned venue 4 weeks ago. Different headgear tried.
1
3rd (1) (1.5/1 -50%) Big Nasty
1.5
1.5/1(-50%)
(1) Big Nasty 1.5/1, Belatedly shed maiden tag from a 1 lb lower mark at Southwell (3m) 12 months ago and filled runners-up spot on 3 of his 5 starts since, latterly at Cheltenham (25f) 3 weeks ago. Big player with a repeat.
2
4th (2) (7/1 +42%) Yaiza
7
7/1(+42%)
(2) Yaiza 7/1, Hurdles/chase winner in Ireland but below best over both sets of obstacles during the winter for present yard. However, break may have perked him up and he's one to monitor closely in the betting now fitted with tongue tie.
LTO Selection:
15:20 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 4) 28f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(3) Joke Dancer 6/1, Back to winning ways dropped in grade in 3-runner C&D handicap in March. Not so good at Carlisle since but could bounce back here.
2
2nd (2) (6/1 -9%) Cedar Hill
6
6/1(-9%)
(2) Cedar Hill 6/1, Won twice last season, including over C&D (fourth success at Kelso). Well beaten over hurdles last time but can't be discounted back over the larger obstacles at this venue.
1
3rd (1) (5.5/1 -65%) Sao
5.5
5.5/1(-65%)
(1) Sao 5.5/1, Three-time winner in 2020/21. Fair run at Perth last time and back to last successful mark now. One to consider.
5
4th (5) (4/1 +20%) Tonto's Spirit
4
4/1(+20%)
(5) Tonto's Spirit 4/1, Tremendous record at Cartmel (won another 3 handicaps there last season). Caught the eye at Carlisle last time and could go well off reduced mark for in-form yard.
4
5th (4) (1.2/1 +40%) Douglas Talking
1.2
1.2/1(+40%)
(4) Douglas Talking 1.2/1, Unbeaten when completing over fences, albeit probably fortunate to take an Ayr match 3 weeks ago. This is tougher up 3 lb but he likely has more to offer.
LTO Selection:
15:50 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 3) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(1) Downtown Getaway 1.2/1, Struggled after winning Ffos Las novice handicap chase in December but has the class to take a hand in hunters.
4
2nd (4) (2.5/1 -33%) Just Cause
2.5
2.5/1(-33%)
(4) Just Cause 2.5/1, Winning hurdler and has shown fair form in hunters. Prolific winning pointer, including in small fields last 3 starts. Leading claims back in this sphere.
2
3rd (2) (7.5/1 -88%) Diable De Sivola
7.5
7.5/1(-88%)
(2) Diable De Sivola 7.5/1, One-time useful chaser but well beaten in similar event at Stratford 7 weeks ago. Needs more.
7
4th (7) (16/1 -146%) Vango De Vaige
16
16/1(-146%)
(7) Vango De Vaige 16/1, Winning hurdler and off the mark in points last month. Second last time. Tongue tie goes on.
3
|PU| (3) (9/1 +73%) Frenchpeps
9
9/1(+73%)
(3) Frenchpeps 9/1, Offered a bit in maiden hurdle a year ago but remains a maiden in points (fourth of 5 finishers recently).
8
|PU| (8) (14/1 -27%) Frankies Fire
14
14/1(-27%)
(8) Frankies Fire 14/1, Multiple point winner but remains with no form in this sphere, lame when well beaten and pulled up here last month.
5
|PU| (5) (18/1 +45%) Shaughnessy
18
18/1(+45%)
(5) Shaughnessy 18/1, Bumper winner but a maiden hurdler/chaser and likewise in points, pulled up last time. Hard to fancy.
6
|PU| (6) (125/1 -89%) Some Ambition
125
125/1(-89%)
(6) Some Ambition 125/1, Of little account, including in points (well held last time, Apr 23).

(7) Pipers Cross 25/1, Has looked a work in progress in a couple of bumpers this year.

2.5
2.5/1(+82%)
(4) Timetotalk 2.5/1, Fair start in bumpers in 2020/21 but not seen for 15 months.
2
3rd (2) (3.5/1 +50%) Huntsman's Call
3.5
3.5/1(+50%)
(2) Huntsman's Call 3.5/1, Flat-bred gelding who showed up well on first of 2 outings in Market Rasen bumpers at the start of last season. Could figure on first run for 10 months.
1
4th (1) (1.62/1 -161%) Gun Runner Cash
1.62
1.62/1(-161%)
(1) Gun Runner Cash 1.62/1, From a successful jumps family and perfect start in Perth bumper under this rider last month, soon clear. Obvious claims under a penalty.
6
5th (6) (7/1 -75%) Blazing Court
7
7/1(-75%)
(6) Blazing Court 7/1, €7,500 3-y-o, Court Cave gelding. Closely related to fair hurdler/chaser Blaze A Trail. Starts out in a winnable contest with Brian Hughes up and well worth a look.
3
6th (3) (16/1 -78%) The Hogan Stand
16
16/1(-78%)
(3) The Hogan Stand 16/1, Failed to complete all 3 starts in Irish points, pulled up last twice (latest Mar 26). Work to do on bumper debut.

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.
