1st (5) Geordies Dream (5/1 -67%)
Geordies Dream

5
5/1(-67%)
(5) Geordies Dream 5/1, Fair bumper winner who is lightly raced for age. Good second in handicap hurdle at Carlisle on second start back from a long absence in February, no match for a well-treated sort but nicely clear of remainder. Unable to repeat that next time but worth another chance in this company with headgear on.
C&D bumper winner; fair form over hurdles; best at 2m; headgear tried; chance.
6
2nd (6) Ravenscraig Castle (8/1 -60%)
Ravenscraig Castle

8
8/1(-60%)
(6) Ravenscraig Castle 8/1, Useful at best at up to 2m on the Flat but has found winning difficult in recent years and didn't make much of an impact on belated debut in this sphere at Perth 10 days ago. Headgear back on.
Quite useful on the Flat; beaten 22l on hurdles debut; cheekpieces tried; should improve.
2
3rd (2) Blueberry Wine (9/2 -64%)
Blueberry Wine

4.5
9/2(-64%)
(2) Blueberry Wine 9/2, Five-time winner over fences, landing handicaps at Huntingdon/Aintree early last summer. Lost his way a little after next start but looked back on song after a winter break when second in novice hurdle at Ludlow (15.8f) last month, his first start over timber for almost 3 years. Form pick.
Five-time chase winner; second in novice hurdle last time; conditions suit; chance.

Famous Liss

28
28/1(-133%)
(4) Famous Liss 28/1, £6,000 4-y-o, Famous Name gelding. Off mark in Irish points at sixth attempt (finished alone, Mar 17). 12/1, showed up well for a long way but ended up soundly beaten when eighth of 12 in novice hurdle at Hexham (16.2f, soft) on NH debut 22 days ago.
Winning Irish pointer; well beaten after a break on hurdles/stable debut; should do better.
10
5th (10) Dorcas Road (11/1 +31%)
Dorcas Road

11
11/1(+31%)
(10) Dorcas Road 11/1, Bumper run for Ian Williams wasn't devoid of promise but probably being brought along with handicaps in mind judged on her 2 runs in this sphere.
Improved on hurdles debut run when fifth of seven at Ayr last month; more needed.
7
6th (7) Rock N Roll Champ (50/1 +0%)
Rock N Roll Champ

50
50/1(+0%)
(7) Rock N Roll Champ 50/1, Maiden in Irish points and never a factor in novice hurdles here in recent weeks.
Modest Irish pointer; well beaten in two runs over hurdles; others stronger.
9
7th (9) Someone You Loved (5/4 +55%)
Someone You Loved

1.25
5/4(+55%)
(9) Someone You Loved 5/4, Fairly useful form at best on Flat in Germany (stays 11f) and pedigree gives hope he'll take to jumps (half-brother to useful hurdler/chaser Sternrubin). Worth considering in a weak event.
Fair on the Flat in Germany (RPR of 80); gelded since; interesting on jumps/stable debut.

8th (1) Acoustic (66/1 -100%)
Acoustic

66
66/1(-100%)
(1) Acoustic 66/1, Poor maiden on Flat for Richard Fahey and little form over hurdles for this yard.
Modest Flat performer who hasn't shown enough over hurdles to suggest he will win this.

9th (3) Fairly Fulling (80/1 -142%)
Fairly Fulling

80
80/1(-142%)
(3) Fairly Fulling 80/1, Failed to complete both starts in points and finished well held in 3 bumpers.

14:15 Kelso Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up to a smart sort of Willie Mullins' at Ludlow, who went on to score at the Punchestown Festival, BLUEBERRY WINE sets the standard on what is his sixth start over the smaller obstacles. A progressive sort over fences last summer, the eight-year-old is preferred to hurdling newcomer Someone You Loved, who was a capable sort on the level in Germany for previous connections. Geordies Dream and Ravenscraig Castle are noted too.

BLUEBERRY WINE looked back on song after a break when second in a similar event at Ludlow on his belated return to hurdles last month and this looks a good opportunity for him to go one better. Someone You Loved has some decent form on the Flat in Germany so is a potential danger starting out for Fergal O'Brien, with Geordies Dream another to consider.

Five-time chase winner BLUEBERRY WINE, who bumped into a useful one when second last time, is taken to get off the mark over hurdles.

6
(6) Everyday Champagne (9/2 -13%)
Everyday Champagne

4.5
9/2(-13%)
(6) Everyday Champagne 9/2, First run since leaving Nicky Richards when bagging 12-runner handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, good) in November. Got back on track under a positive ride returned to less testing ground when going down narrowly at this venue (23.4f, good) 18 days ago and not dismissed from the same mark.
Back to his best when beaten a neck here (near 3m, good) 18 days ago, front-running.

(1) Impulsive One (14/1 +0%)
Impulsive One

14
14/1(+0%)
(1) Impulsive One 14/1, Yet to score for current yard and was said to have suffered a breathing problem back over hurdles after 6 months off at Warwick (21f, good) just over 2 weeks ago. Much-reduced mark back over fences but tricky to assess at present.
5-17 hurdling (respiratory issue latest) but more to prove judged on his three chases.
5
1st (5) Chapel Green (4/1 +43%)
Chapel Green

4
4/1(+43%)
(5) Chapel Green 4/1, Made winning chase debut at Hexham in October and in cheekpieces, got back on track to some extent when fourth at this track in March. Possibly unsuited by conditions though his attitude could be more of an issue judged on his latest effort. Back up in trip.
Defied 5lb higher at Hexham (1m7f, soft) in October on chase debut; not in that form since.
7
2nd (7) Grand Voyage (5/2 +77%)
Grand Voyage

2.5
5/2(+77%)
(7) Grand Voyage 5/2, Long time without success and ran poorly kept to around 2½m when down the field at Perth 10 days ago. Back up slightly in trip which is sure to suit (was runner-up over C&D on penultimate start) and should be on the premises.
On a losing run but, with a largely good overall record here, he's one to consider.
3
3rd (3) Five Dollar Fine (5/2 +17%)
Five Dollar Fine

2.5
5/2(+17%)
(3) Five Dollar Fine 5/2, Finally managed to get off the mark under a more patient ride when winning at Hexham last month and followed up from a 9 lb higher mark back there (15.6f, good to soft) just over 2 weeks ago. Hiked back up in trip and there's every chance he can complete the hat-trick.
Career-best efforts to win over about 2m at Hexham last two starts; earlier form up to 3m.
4
4th (4) Hidden Commander (22/1 -83%)
Hidden Commander

22
22/1(-83%)
(4) Hidden Commander 22/1, Got back on track when landing back-to-back handicaps over this C&D and at Hexham during the autumn. Ran poorly under a more patient ride than usual after 5 months off when well held at this course (23.4f, good) and will need to leave that behind.
Did little last three runs, latest here after 161-day break; plenty of success here though.
8
5th (8) Castletown (9/1 +10%)
Castletown

9
9/1(+10%)
(8) Castletown 9/1, Tricky character (resents use of whip) but capable when in the mood, as he demonstrated when landing a handicap chase at Perth last summer. Showed the benefit of a recent run over hurdles but still came up a little short here earlier this month and that's likely to be the case again.
Veteran; nearly 6l behind Everyday Champagne last time, a step back in the right direction.
9
6th (9) Okavango Delta (12/1 +40%)
Okavango Delta

12
12/1(+40%)
(9) Okavango Delta 12/1, Not far off his hurdling best when runner-up on second chase start at Catterick in November but ran badly after 3 months off at Market Rasen (21.4f, good) just over 2 weeks ago. Others look stronger.
Off 103 days before pulled up 16 days ago; sole win was in 2022 in first-time headgear.
2
|PU| (2) Go Boy (6/1 -71%)
Go Boy

6
6/1(-71%)
(2) Go Boy 6/1, Fair hurdles winner in Ireland and created a fine impression at second attempt over fences when making a successful stable debut at Carlisle (2m, soft) in December. Hasn't gone on in both subsequent starts though and returns 3 lb lower following a 2-month break.
Won British debut; his step back up to 2m4f at Carlisle on latest start was disappointing.

14:50 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

Narrowly denied over further here earlier in the month, EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE should be suited by dropping in distance slightly and he can strike for his in-form connections off his last winning mark. Success may come at the main expense of the hat-trick seeking Five Dollar Fine, who will need to prove himself over this trip after wins over 2m the last twice. Runner-up here on his penultimate start in March, Go Boy is another to consider.

FIVE DOLLAR FINE arrives in the form of his life, so Ann Hamilton's 9-y-o is fancied to defy another rise in the weights and complete the hat-trick at the expense of Everyday Champagne, who went down narrowly at this venue earlier in the month and should be bang there from an unchanged mark. Grand Voyage ran a cracker when runner-up on his penultimate start over C&D and he can edge out Go Boy for third spot.

Five Dollar Fine has to catch the eye but this is a marked step back up in trip and EVERYDAY CHAMPAGNE looks a potent alternative.

Well Educated

3.333333
10/3(+26%)
(6) Well Educated 10/3, Confirmed previous encouragement when capitalising on a reduced mark at Hexham 5 days ago. This is much tougher under a penalty but he's still worthy of respect.
Three 2m wins in 2022; winner over 2m4f on Tuesday; 7lb penalty; could go well back at 2m.
1
2nd (1) Jungle Jack (15/2 -25%)
Jungle Jack

7.5
15/2(-25%)
(1) Jungle Jack 15/2, Fifteenth of 19 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (16.5f, soft, 40/1) 44 days ago. Struggling for form lately and needs blinkers to perk him up down in grade.
5-12 over hurdles; rather inconsistent now but chance on his best form; blinkers now tried.
3
3rd (3) Caithness (3/1 +57%)
Caithness

3
3/1(+57%)
(3) Caithness 3/1, Comfortable all-the-way winner of C&D maiden/handicap hurdles in the autumn. Shaped as if back in form here almost 3 months ago and player if allowed a soft lead.
Two C&D wins last season; also good third at Cheltenham; below par last three runs.
5

Mack The Man

2.5
5/2(-11%)
(5) Mack The Man 5/2, Has reacted well to a visor lately and got back to winning ways with another strong-travelling performance at Perth 10 days ago. Leading claims in current mood.
In good form in this headgear; 6l winner at Perth last time; now 8lb higher; a possible.
4

Carcaci Castle

12
12/1(+0%)
(4) Carcaci Castle 12/1, Bumper/dual hurdle winner who has disappointed on his last two chasing outings but could get back on track returning to this sphere after a break.
C&D winner in 2022; mainly below form since but good 2nd in aids in February; bit to prove.
7
6th (7) Cracking Destiny (11/1 -57%)
Cracking Destiny

11
11/1(-57%)
(7) Cracking Destiny 11/1, Well served by test of speed when capitalising on reduced mark at Musselburgh (15.8f). Has shaped as if still in form since but hard to know what he's capable of returning to this sphere for the first time in a while.
Won two h'cap chases last term; better treated over hurdles; conditions suit; interesting.
8
7th (8) Mister Moodles (11/1 -47%)
Mister Moodles

11
11/1(-47%)
(8) Mister Moodles 11/1, Made the frame both starts in bumpers last season and left hurdling debut form behind when landing a weak race at Doncaster (16.6f) in December. Progressed again when runner-up over same C&D next time then may have found the race coming too soon at Carlisle 80 days ago. Could get back on track.
Won 2m novice (good) and interesting back on less testing ground on handicap debut.

15:25 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to look past MACK THE MAN, who continues to go from strength to strength and an 8lb rise for his most recent success at Perth could prove lenient as he looks to make it three wins from his last four starts. Well Educated bounced back to winning ways with a determined performance over further at Hexham and he is likely to be thereabouts again, along with the capable Jungle Jack.

MACK THE MAN has thrived in a visor lately and had something to spare when scoring at Perth recently, so he's taken to go in again at the possible expense of Mister Moodles, who should get back on track after a break. Well Educated also merits consideration.

The one who makes most appeal is Doncaster novice winner, MISTER MOODLES who has ideal conditions for his handicap debut.

(8) Somebody's Fortune 10/1, Placed in points and, while she's only hinted at ability in this sphere, there's plenty of scope for improvement now upped in trip with a visor on for handicap debut. Player.
Makes handicap debut from lowly mark and may yet deliver on promise shown in Irish points.
4
2nd (4) Mistral Nell (3/1 -9%)
Mistral Nell

3
3/1(-9%)
(4) Mistral Nell 3/1, Latest win in hurdle at Catterick in December. Creditable second of 8 in handicap hurdle at Hereford (25.5f, good, 15/2) 19 days ago. Unexposed over this distance and worth chancing to go one better.
Looked suited by step up to 3m1f when second at Hereford this month; respected.

Bright Sunbird

7.5

(5) Bright Sunbird 15/2, 28/1, first run since leaving Gary Hanmer when creditable sixth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) 16 days ago. Looked as good as ever and merits respect back up in trip with cheekpieces refitted.
Made encouraging stable debut this month; back up in trip with cheekpieces refitted.

Lone Star

(2) Lone Star 12/1, Had a productive time in 2022/23, scoring 5 times. Not quite in same form last campaign and failed to beat a rival at Stratford 17 days ago. Needs to get back on track upped in trip.
Five wins in 2022-23 but drew a blank and became inconsistent last term.

Starlyte

6

(7) Starlyte 6/1, Made a winning return to hurdles for current yard at Newcastle in November 2022. In the frame 4 times from 6 starts in 2023/24, and performed respectably when ninth of 15 at this course last time. Can get involved if the race is run to suit.
Made low-key return from seven-month break here 18 days ago; last win was in autumn 2022.

Blue Baloo

Has gone the wrong way since winning hurdle debut in November.
6
7th (6) Aazza (9/1 +44%)
Aazza

9
9/1(+44%)
(6) Aazza 9/1, Successful at Doncaster last January and largely in good form since. Rare poor effort at Ayr 78 days ago but likely to bounce back after a break.
Was not firing on all cylinders last season and has more to prove than some of these.

Melusine De Pail

(1) Melusine De Pail 7/1, Point winner who has shaped with encouragement on each hurdling outing, third at Chepstow on handicap debut last time. Not discounted.
Placed on all four hurdling starts, the latest her handicap debut at Chepstow (2m7f).

16:00 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Although MISTRAL NELL was no match for an improver at Hereford, that was a creditable effort on her first attempt over 3m plus. Fergal O'Brien's mare could find further progress and she holds every chance of going one better off 1lb lower. Somebody's Fortune struggled in novice/maiden company, but it would come as no surprise were she to improve now pitched into handicaps. Melusine De Pail is nothing if not consistent and she's unlikely to be far away.

MISTRAL NELL arrives on the back of a solid showing at Hereford and there's potential for better from her as a stayer, so she's preferred to handicap debutante Somebody's Fortune. Bright Sunbird is also of interest on her second start for her current stable.

With cheekpieces refitted and Tabitha Worsley back in the saddle, BRIGHT SUNBIRD (nap) can build upon her encouraging stable debut.

Jeteye

5
5/1(-82%)
(3) Jeteye 5/1, Runner-up on completed start in points and promise over hurdles, finishing second in 3m Southwell handicap last month. Inauspicious start to his chase career when pulled up there 12 days ago but no shock were he to bounce back with a bang in first-time cheekpieces.
Flopped on recent chasing debut but has claims if judged on last month's good hurdle run.

Has jumping issues to address but is a big player if judged on last season's best form.

Toucan Sam

6/1(-33%)
(2) Toucan Sam 6/1, Modest chaser who reverts to handicaps after finishing runner-up in 3m hunters at Hexham and Perth earlier this month. His mark looks workable based on the form he showed last time. Might be the answer.
Second in two hunter chases this month; needs to prove he can cope with revised mark.

Goodtimes Badtimes

Soundly beaten in March after a long absence; makes chasing debut today.
4
5th (4) Grand Du Nord (7/2 +56%)
Grand Du Nord

Makes chasing debut after a layoff but went close off this mark over hurdles last year.

16:35 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Better was clearly expected of Jeteye, who failed to make an impact on his chasing bow 12 days ago having been sent off as favourite. The Jet Away gelding was said to have been unsuited by easing ground conditions, though, so it will be interesting to see if his supporters return on a potentially quicker surface. GOODTIMES BADTIMES was a mixed bag over hurdles, but chasing ought to be more his thing and it is Sandy Thomson's charge who is taken to make a successful fencing debut. Toucan Sam heads the remainder.

TOUCAN SAM arrives in form and might prove the answer to this trappy-looking affair. Jeteye has a bit of a mixed record but his hurdle second last month shows he's capable from his mark and it wouldn't be any surprise were he to bounce straight back from his subsequent no show on chase debut. Goodtimes Badtimes is third choice.

He needs to brush up his jumping but BARON BRIGGS is given a tentative vote in this modest race. Jeteye is feared most.

(5) Yippee Ki Yay 5/6, Four-time point winner who made a successful start to his hunter career at Exeter (2m) in March. Runner-up back at Exeter and at Cheltenham since. Sets a clear form standard.

Dual point winner; 16l third in maiden hunter chase here last month; this looks tougher.

Bounced back to win over 3m at Perth recently; yet to win here but was 2nd in this in 2023.

(10) The Macon Lugnatic 25/1, Fair chaser for Ben Pauling but ended his time with that yard on a low note and recent point efforts don't suggest he'll fare much better on this hunter debut.
Became disappointing under rules; ordinary form pointing this term; others appeal more.

17:10 Kelso Hunter Chase (Class 3) 26f Race Class Flow

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

SHANROE STREET gets a confident vote. The veteran 14-year-old could only manage second in this last year, but he warmed up with a comfortable win at Perth 11 days ago and is potentially in better shape this time around. Yippee Ki Yay was a creditable second at Cheltenham last time out and he can go well, likewise Bothwell Bridge in a first-time tongue-tie.

YIPPEE KI YAY has made a promising start to his hunter career this spring and can see off this older opposition. Last year's winner Slievegar can follow him home ahead of Bothwell Bridge, prolific in points since joining Kelly Morgan, and in-form veteran Shanroe Street.

Progressive YIPPEE KI YAY has improved since hunter chasing and he is taken to beat the in-form pointer Bothwell Bridge.

17:45 Kelso NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Gale Mahler was on target at Southwell earlier this month and she is a leading contender, although the daughter of Mahler might struggle to concede 7lb to BEAU DELLA. Iain Jardine's mare hit the front going easily at Hexham 15 days ago, before fading into second, and any further improvement can see her go one better. Lewesdon Dancer, a half-sister to two winners including bumper scorer Quest For Life, warrants a betting check ahead of her racecourse bow.

GALE MAHLER did it comfortably at Southwell and can defy a penalty. Beau Della has one of these in her and is feared, while Bellmount Lady is a newcomer to note.

Preference is for BEAU DELLA, who swept to the front and looked the likely winner before succumbing to a strong finisher at Hexham.

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.
