Races & Results Sunday 6th October 2024
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(3) Jumping Susie 6/5, Career best when winning 12-runner handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan (18.9f, good) in July, responding well. Matched that form when third under a penalty at Tramore and wasn't far off that level at Bangor, either, with her rider losing his irons early. Front-runner who has won twice this season; leading claims under a double-penalty.
2
2nd (2) (11/10 +41%) Step Out
1.1
11/10(+41%)
(2) Step Out 11/10, Runner-up 3 times over hurdles before getting it right at Downpatrick in August (21.8f) keeping on well. More needed under a penalty but he's in good hands. Off the mark at Downpatrick in August and form franked by runner-up; strong claims.
6
3rd (6) (12/1 +64%) Kopa Kilana
12
12/1(+64%)
(6) Kopa Kilana 12/1, Successful sole start in bumpers but remains winless following 19 attempts in this sphere, albeit runner-up 4 times in handicap company this season. Plenty to find back in a novice. Runner-up three times this season but on long losing sequence and others appeal more.
7
4th (7) (40/1 -100%) Blow A Fortune
40
40/1(-100%)
(7) Blow A Fortune 40/1, First foal, dam, unraced half-sister to smart hurdler/winning chaser (stayed 25f) who became ungenuine Blow By Blow. Faces no easy task against males on debut and may be best watched.
5
5th (5) (200/1 -33%) Bilboa River
200
200/1(-33%)
(5) Bilboa River 200/1, Merit established as low-grade maiden handicapper so booked for a struggle. Longstanding maiden who was tailed off at Perth ten days ago when back from a long absence.
1
|U| (1) (12/1 -33%) Kilmore Rock
12
12/1(-33%)
(1) Kilmore Rock 12/1, First foal, dam unraced. Placed on 2 of 4 starts in points and backed at prices, he made a winning hurdles debut at Hexham in June, holding on gamely. Bare form is ordinary so he looks vulnerable here. Made on rules debut at Hexham; this is tougher but he's unexposed and not ruled out.
13:30 Kelso Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Not the deepest of contests and it could be another fine opportunity for STEP OUT. Stuart Crawford's charge had been knocking at the door prior to winning at Downpatrick in August so any further improvement can see him go in again. Jumping Susie finished a creditable third at Tramore before occupying the same position at Bangor last month. John McConnell's mare is the main danger in receipt of 2lb, while Hexham scorer Kilmore Rock appeals most of the remainder.
BEL AMIGO's French form marks him out as the pick at these weights so it's worth siding that he will be fit enough on return from 6 months off to get the job done here. Irish-raiders Jumping Susie and Step Out are the obvious alternatives.
The form of STEP OUT's breakthrough win at Downpatrick in August has been franked by the runner-up and he is taken to follow up.
(7) The Navigator 6/1, C&D winner who struck at Cartmel (17f) in the summer but well beaten there last time. Still on a favourable mark but he'll find easier opportunities. Disappointing in August but this C&D winner may be able to leave that latest effort behind.
3
2nd (3) (11/4 +58%) Faithfulflyer
2.75
11/4(+58%)
(3) Faithfulflyer 11/4, Has improved this season, winning C&D and Uttoxeter contests and running respectably in a useful handicap at Market Rasen 11 weeks ago. Back down in grade returning from a break and has a pretty good record here. Below best at Market Rasen in July but in career-best form previously; could bounce back.
1
3rd (1) (9/4 +36%) Shared
2.25
9/4(+36%)
(1) Shared 9/4, Good record fresh (improved again to win 2m Chepstow handicap on reappearance last season) and back to form when fourth at Warwick (21f) when last seen in May. Dropped 2 lb for return and one to consider. Patchy form in the spring but now below last winning mark & goes well fresh; not ruled out.
5
4th (5) (14/1 -155%) Sea Grey
14
14/1(-155%)
(5) Sea Grey 14/1, Fairly useful performer on the Flat, won twice in the summer with both runs since best excused. Before that he'd become disappointing in this sphere following a Catterick maiden hurdle victory. Blinkers tried back up in trip. Has potential off his hurdle mark in view of his Flat ability; not ruled out.
2
5th (2) (10/3 +26%) Oceanline
3.333333
10/3(+26%)
(2) Oceanline 10/3, Back in good form having tumbled in the weights, taking a couple of Worcester handicaps, although he would have had to settle for second last time had the runner-up not made a howler 2 out. 7 lb rise demands more now. Has won at Worcester the last twice; can also be effective elsewhere; strong claims.
6
6th (6) (9/1 -100%) Famous Liss
9
9/1(-100%)
(6) Famous Liss 9/1, Finished alone in an Irish point and progressive form in 2m novice hurdles earlier this season, edged out close home at Hexham latest start in June. Should have more to offer again now handicapping up in trip. Promise in 3m points/2m novice hurdles; the step up in trip could be a plus on h'cap debut.
14:05 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Oceanline arrives having notched up a brace of successes at Worcester but, although respected from a 7lb raised mark, it is FAMOUS LISS who shades preference. The unexposed six-year-old was narrowly denied over 2m at Hexham when last seen in June. He goes handicapping from a workable mark and with a step up in trip likely to benefit him, it would come as no surprise were Stuart Coltherd's charge to find the necessary improvement. Shared is another to consider.
SHARED has won first time up for the last 2 seasons and can repeat the feat here. He ran well in a stronger event at Warwick when last seen in May and has untapped potential over this sort of trip. Famous Liss is potentially a big improver now handicapping up in distance and is strongly respected on his return, while Faithfulflyer should go well again here.
Rebecca Menzies' horses are running well and the lightly raced 7yo HARPER VALLEY is selected to make a winning return from a break.
(4) Samwise 20/1, Best bumper effort when third of 9 at Carlisle in February 2023 but off the track since. Returns from long absence but showed promise in bumpers and is not ruled out each-way.
6
2nd (6) (5/6 -25%) Yokkell
0.833333
5/6(-25%)
(6) Yokkell 5/6, Fairly useful on Flat and translated that ability to hurdles at the first time of asking when scoring by 19 lengths at Down Royal at the end of August. Runner-up at Warwick 12 days ago and, fitted with a hood, she's very much the one to beat. Useful on the Flat; a win and a second from first two hurdle starts; leading claims.
2
3rd (2) (13/2 -18%) Iorangi De L'isle
6.5
13/2(-18%)
(2) Iorangi De L'isle 13/2, Won completed start in Irish points and shaped with promise in a Catterick bumper/maiden hurdle last season. Weakened tamely at Bangor in May and since had a breathing op. Improvement needed but this point winner has had a wind op and is not written off.
10
4th (10) (80/1 -471%) Lyle View
80
80/1(-471%)
(10) Lyle View 80/1, £20,000 4-y-o, fourth foal, dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 23f) Devils Bride. Runner-up completed start in Irish points (Apr 20). Second in a point; has travelled from Wiltshire to make her rules debut and could go well.
8
5th (8) (9/2 +55%) Another High Five
4.5
9/2(+55%)
(8) Another High Five 9/2, £62,000 4-y-o, half-brother to 3 winners, including French 15f hurdle winner Get Me Five and bumper winner Modreeney. Dam, maiden on Flat (stayed 1m), half-sister to ungenuine but fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (stayed 3m) William Hogarth. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Apr 28). Runner-up in a point on sole start; could have a big part to play on rules debut.
5
6th (5) (3/1 +70%) The Northernlights
3
3/1(+70%)
(5) The Northernlights 3/1, Runner-up in a point bumper and shaped with some encouragement when fifth in a bumper at Cheltenham in October. Showed enough in a brace of hurdles outings to make him of some interest on stable debut (has left Georgina Nicholls). Yet to threaten but new trainer often does well with recruits from other yards.
3
7th (3) (125/1 -279%) Reliance Kid
125
125/1(-279%)
(3) Reliance Kid 125/1, Reliable Man gelding. Dam (c114/h127), 17f-21f hurdles/chase winner in France, half-sister to French 17f/2¼m hurdles/chase winner Rombaldi. No impact in a Punchestown bumper for Gordon Elliott in April 2023. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in points this year. Went close in Irish point in May; each-way possible on hurdle/stable debut.
1
8th (1) (150/1 -200%) Gatsby Blue
150
150/1(-200%)
(1) Gatsby Blue 150/1, €32,000 3-y-o, second foal: dam (h126) bumper/19f hurdle winner. Pulled up sole start in Irish points (Apr 2023). Pulled up on debut in Irish point in April 2023 and absent since; probably best watched.
9
9th (9) (33/1 -136%) Rogue Lion
33
33/1(-136%)
(9) Rogue Lion 33/1, Half-brother to useful hurdler Scarlet Dragon (winner around 2m). Fairly useful form on Flat (stays 11f) for Tom Clover, much improved when runner-up in novice event last time. Hurdles debut. Promising 2nd on the Flat in January; a contender if transferring that ability to hurdles.
14:40 Kelso Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
YOKKELL has taken well to hurdling since having her attentions switched from the Flat. A winner at Down Royal in August, the daughter of Fast Company went on to fill the runner-up spot at Warwick last month. The booking of Harry Cobden catches the eye and with a hood applied for the first time, she could regain the winning thread. Another High Five hit the crossbar in a point-to-point in April and market support should be noted ahead of his Rules debut. Iorangi De L'isle completes the shortlist.
Ex-Flat performer YOKKELL cemented a solid start to her hurdles career when runner-up at Warwick 12 days ago and she's very much the one to beat. Point-recruits Another High Five and Lyle View may emerge as the chief threats.
The useful Flat performer YOKKELL is taken to make it 2-3 over hurdles and add to her win at Down Royal in August.
(3) Universal Folly 9/1, Completed a hat-trick over fences at Hexham last season for Nicky Richards. Well held first 3 starts for this yard until 5 lengths third of 5 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good to soft, 20/1) 27 days ago, though that form is far from solid. Took step back in right direction when 3rd at Perth and continues to edge down the weights.
6
2nd (6) (15/8 +87%) Brandy Mcqueen
1.875
15/8(+87%)
(6) Brandy Mcqueen 15/8, Struggled since making a winning chase debut here (23.4) in October. Others preferred. 12lb lower than when winning here last October but tailed off the last twice.
8
3rd (8) (10/1 -25%) Cardamon Hill
10
10/1(-25%)
(8) Cardamon Hill 10/1, Perth winner in June but he isn't the easiest to catch right and last 2 efforts have been poor. In good form at Perth earlier this season but down the field the last twice.
7
4th (7) (11/2 +45%) Jem In Em
5.5
11/2(+45%)
(7) Jem In Em 11/2, Consistent hurdler but was always behind on chase bow here (21.6f, good) 18 days ago. This distance much more suitable at least. Well beaten here on recent chase debut but retains potential now back up in trip.
2
5th (2) (16/1 -146%) Silver In Disguise
16
16/1(-146%)
(2) Silver In Disguise 16/1, Capitalised on a reduced mark when scoring (in slightly fortunate fashion) under this rider at Chepstow in April but only third off revised mark at Ffos Las following month. Off since. Won under Edward Vaughan at Chepstow in April and he's one to consider.
1
6th (1) (14/1 -211%) Captain Quint
14
14/1(-211%)
(1) Captain Quint 14/1, Cheekpieces on when regaining the winning thread in a 7-runner Musselburgh handicap (23.6f, soft) in February. However, his jumping went to pot at Newbury next time and below par here since with the headgear discarded. Has left Rose Dobbin. Goes well fresh and could play leading role on first run for Paul Robson.
4
|F| (4) (5/1 -82%) Do No Wrong
5
5/1(-82%)
(4) Do No Wrong 5/1, Scored at Southwell in June and good placed efforts next 3 of 4 starts, third of 10 in handicap chase at this course (21.6f, good, 12/1) 18 days ago. Should go well again back up in trip. 3m winner in June and kept on for 2m5f third here last month; could have a big say.
5
|PU| (5) (11/1 +21%) Scipion
11
11/1(+21%)
(5) Scipion 11/1, Out of sorts for a while, including both starts for this yard. His mark continues to tumble but he's been tailed off on both starts this season.
10
|PU| (10) (12/1 -100%) Breaking The Ice
12
12/1(-100%)
(10) Breaking The Ice 12/1, 3-time winner here in his youth. Not so reliable nowadays but he had excuses in between 2 decent placed efforts at Cartmel and Perth. On the shortlist. Three-time course winner who has been placed on two of his last three starts; chance.
9
|PU| (9) (66/1 -100%) Chameron
66
66/1(-100%)
(9) Chameron 66/1, Scored once from 5 starts for Patrick Griffin last term and little impact for new connections. On a reduced mark but this 11yo has struggled on his five starts since last December.
15:15 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 4) 26f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
DO NO WRONG made the frame in this grade over an extended 2m5f here last month and he is only 1lb higher for that performance. Justin Landy's eight-year-old has lots in his favour in his bid to regain the winning thread. Universal Folly was beaten into third in a class 3 event at Perth last time and could go closer now that he takes a drop in class. Breaking The Ice is another to consider.
DO NO WRONG appeals as the most solid option, though Breaking The Ice arrives in good heart, while Captain Quint can go well fresh starting out for a new yard.
The 6yo JEM IN EM should be capable of much better than he showed on last month's chase debut here, especially now back up in trip.
(7) Breizh River 6/1, Has created a good impression sent chasing, landing handicaps at Hexham and Bangor this summer. Lost his unbeaten record over fences but still shaped well when third at Uttoxeter in June. More required, though it remains early days for him in this sphere. 6yo who's taken well to fences on last three starts but is 7lb out of the handicap.
2
2nd (2) (18/1 -157%) Malystic
18
18/1(-157%)
(2) Malystic 18/1, Three-time winner in 2022/23 but failed to make an impact on his first 3 outings last season. However, there were better signs when third at Doncaster on his final 2 starts and he's now dropped below his last winning mark. Not discounted on return. Started last term with a heavy defeat in this but found his form on last two outings.
1
3rd (1) (3/1 -20%) Tommy's Oscar
3
3/1(-20%)
(1) Tommy's Oscar 3/1, Very smart chaser who made a winning return in this race last year. Continued in decent heart over fences during the rest of the campaign, producing a career-best when getting the better of Traprain Law at Ayr in April. Not taken lightly. Needs major respect despite being 5lb higher than when winning this race last year.
6
4th (6) (10/3 +52%) Guy
3.333333
10/3(+52%)
(6) Guy 10/3, Three-time winner last season, returning to form when scoring at Hereford in January. Failed to repeat that effort next time, though bounced back to his best when getting up late over C&D in May. This is tougher but he returns with yard going well. 4-22 as chaser, including wins on two of his last three starts; faces potential improvers.
3
5th (3) (7/2 +50%) Fringill Dike
3.5
7/2(+50%)
(3) Fringill Dike 7/2, Quickly made up into a better chaser than hurdler last season, successful on his first 3 starts over fences. Added to his tally at Bangor in May and left behind a lesser over hurdles when a wide-margin winner at Newton Abbot last time. Respected. 5-8 over fences; left with little to beat last time but could still be capable of better.
5
6th (5) (7/1 +36%) Kansas City Star
7
7/1(+36%)
(5) Kansas City Star 7/1, Having left Gordon Elliott, made a winning stable/chase debut at Huntingdon in Janaury and left behind a poor run when successful at Plumpton in March. However, added to his all-or-nothing record over fences when well held at Bangor on latest outing. Two good-ground wins and two heavy defeats on softer, from his four chases for new yard.
8
|PU| (8) (12/1 +14%) Mayhem Mya
12
12/1(+14%)
(8) Mayhem Mya 12/1, Opened account in this sphere at Exeter in December. Below-par effort next time but has been shaping up well since, travelling better than most when fourth of 11 at Bangor on her latest outing in May. Has something to find from 8 lb out of the weights. There's more for her to prove on good ground and particularly from 8lb out of the handicap.
15:50 Kelso Handicap Chase (Class 2) 17f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
FRINGILL DIKE accounted for his nearest rival by a whopping 27 lengths at Newton Abbot in August and he remains in the same grade. If he can run to anywhere near that level again, he could prove very tough to beat. Guy made it two wins from his last three starts when victorious over C&D back in the spring and should mount another bold bid, while Breizh River is another to note.
TRAPRAIN LAW quickly developed into a useful chaser last season, pressing the leader a long way out when runner-up at Ayr in April, and he is taken to make a winning return with more still to offer over fences. He can reverse the form with Tommy's Oscar from when the pair met at Ayr, with Fringill Dike also in the mix.
There's a good chance that FRINGILL DIKE (nap) will catch a few of these cold. Tommy's Oscar's yard has a fine record in the race.
(7) Rickety Gate 16/5, C&D winner. Failed to stay over 3m2f when eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Perth in May so not ruled out back down in trip off a 4 lb lower mark. Merely eighth in the spring on last two starts but can go well fresh and won this in 2022.
10
2nd (10) (9/1 +78%) Swift Reply
9
9/1(+78%)
(10) Swift Reply 9/1, Low-mileage maiden who came in only seventh of 11 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, soft) 11 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. 50-1 runner-up at Sedgefield in January but form has gone the wrong way since.
4
3rd (4) (5/1 -43%) Theirshegoes
5
5/1(-43%)
(4) Theirshegoes 5/1, Resumed with 2m Uttoxeter win in June but unseated rider 4 out there 52 days ago. Still enters calculations. Won over 2m at Uttoxeter in June; there can be hope she'll be fine now back up in trip.
2
4th (2) (7/1 -56%) Malangen
7
7/1(-56%)
(2) Malangen 7/1, Scored at Hexham in June and holding her form well since, fifth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, soft) 11 days ago. Needs considering once more. Won in June and now just 1lb higher; didn't run badly last month; might not be far away.
3
5th (3) (22/1 -57%) Be The Difference
22
22/1(-57%)
(3) Be The Difference 22/1, A fair hurdles winner in 2021. Absent for 26 months prior to the current season and well below par both starts at Perth and Cartmel. Needs a big step forward. Check betting on third start back from long absence but others have less to prove.
1
6th (1) (2/1 0%) O'grady's Hill
2
2/1(0%)
(1) O'grady's Hill 2/1, Successful in a point in April and has shaped with promise both starts over hurdles when runner-up at Market Rasen and Uttoxeter. Interesting now going back up in trip on her handicap debut. Point winner; runner-up on all three rules starts; could have part to play on h'cap debut.
11
7th (11) (80/1 -300%) Luminaries
80
80/1(-300%)
(11) Luminaries 80/1, Little impact in various events over hurdles, cheekpieces tried when ninth at Perth (3m) in July on his final run for Neil Mulholland. Since undergone breathing surgery and significantly more is needed for his new handler. 0-9; has had wind op prior to this stable debut and a transformation is needed.
5
8th (5) (11/1 -10%) Iwa
11
11/1(-10%)
(5) Iwa 11/1, Fair hurdler/chaser in France but failed to match that form in two hurdling/chasing runs for Rose Dobbin. Needs this yard switch and subsequent wind op to spark major improvement. Yet to shine in Britain but has had wind op since last time and he won twice in France.
9
|F| (9) (5/1 +23%) Nastasiya
5
5/1(+23%)
(9) Nastasiya 5/1, Remains without a win but she comes here in decent nick, fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Perth (23.9f, soft) 10 days ago. Ought to be in th shake-up. Went close in August 2023 but hasn't threatened on last three runs and is now 0-26.
6
|F| (6) (25/1 +0%) Carrarea
25
25/1(+0%)
(6) Carrarea 25/1, On a long losing run and only eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, good) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now. Continues to drop down the weights but needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces.
8
|PU| (8) (22/1 +12%) Darkest Day
22
22/1(+12%)
(8) Darkest Day 22/1, C&D winner but he arrives out of sorts, twelfth of 14 in handicap hurdle here (18.1f, good) 18 days ago. Others appeal more. Good second at Perth in June but well beaten on his last three outings.
16:25 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
O'GRADY'S HILL has filled the runner-up berth on all three outings under Rules and an opening mark of 99 looks workable. Harry Derham's mare will appreciate the rise in distance and she is expected be fresh following an 81-day break. Theirshegoes appeared to be finding her feet when opening her account at Uttoxeter in June and although subsequently unseating her rider at that same venue, it shouldn't prevent a prominent showing. Market support for stable debutant Iwa on this return to hurdling would be interesting.
Lots with chances. O'GRADY'S HILL is fancied to build on previous promise now stepping into handicap company for the first time and gain a first win under Rules. The consistent Malangen could emerge as the main danger to Harry Derham's mare, with the handily-weighted Rickety Gate and in-form maiden Nastasiya also in the picture.
This can go to THEIRSHEGOES, who won at Uttoxeter in June on her last completed start. O'Grady's Hill is second choice.
(4) Double Powerful 10/3, Lightly raced 5yo who hit a steep upward curve towards the end of last season, signing off with two ready successes. Returns with his yard in excellent form, so worth a chance to complete the hat-trick. Up another 10lb but he looked capable of better when winning his last two starts last term.
5
2nd (5) (25/1 +0%) Starlyte
25
25/1(+0%)
(5) Starlyte 25/1, On a losing run and has pulled up on her last 3 starts. Bounce back needed. 2-24 over hurdles, both wins in 2022; second in June but pulled up all three starts since.
3
3rd (3) (4/1 -14%) Summergrounds
4
4/1(-14%)
(3) Summergrounds 4/1, Winner in hurdle at Market Rasen in May. Has posted a couple of creditable efforts since and is likely to be on the premises again. Won in May and creditable places both starts since; considered.
2
4th (2) (9/1 -125%) Dalileo
9
9/1(-125%)
(2) Dalileo 9/1, Added to an excellent course record when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, soft) 11 days ago, travelling with purpose. His chance doesn't look to be too far away. Running creditably at Perth this summer; respectable 4th of six in division of this 2023.
6
5th (6) (22/1 -120%) Bathgate
22
22/1(-120%)
(6) Bathgate 22/1, Offered little in bumpers but more promising signs when reaching the frame in a couple of maiden hurdles for Tom Weston this spring. Probably needed the run on both outings for this yard and he's still unexposed. Down the field for yard in handicaps at Cartmel (2m1f; 33-1) and Stratford (2m2f; 22-1).
9
6th (9) (10/1 -43%) Iolani
10
10/1(-43%)
(9) Iolani 10/1, Veteran who scored at Cartmel in May and arrives on the back of a couple of respectable efforts. Others look better treated, though. Veteran; second here on penultimate outing shows he must still be considered.
8
7th (8) (5/1 +50%) Pooch
5
5/1(+50%)
(8) Pooch 5/1, First run since leaving Harriet Dickin when respectable ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle (14/1) at Stratford (22f, good) 40 days ago. May do better for this yard and can't be dismissed. Second run for this yard and after wind surgery; none of his form matches up to this mark.
7
|PU| (7) (7/2 +83%) Captain Marco
3.5
7/2(+83%)
(7) Captain Marco 7/2, Has merely hinted at ability thus far, down the field when last seen at Exeter five months ago for Mitchell Hunt. Hard to make a solid case for unless the market speaks in his favour. Heavy defeats over hurdles all five starts for Mitchell Hunt; back down in trip on return.
1
|PU| (1) (14/1 -40%) Looking Splendid

14/1(-40%)
(1) Looking Splendid 14/1, Didn't show much in bumpers but there have been signs of ability over hurdles and he could do better switched to handicaps after 5 months off. No better than fifth after three bumpers and three runs at about this trip over hurdles.

22/1(-120%)
(10) Local Drama 22/1, Runner-up on the second of his 2 starts so, while he's showed next to nothing under Rules, he's worth a market check on handicap debut after 8 months off. Nothing solid to recommend him but very early days and he needs a check on handicap debut.

150/1(-127%)
(11) Ivynator 150/1, One-time fairly useful Flat performer but yet to get anywhere near that form over hurdles. Hard to make any sort of case for. Fair AW Flat winner but that was nearly four years ago; out of form this year.
17:00 Kelso Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Double Powerful scored with something up his sleeve when completing a brace at Market Rasen in March. A 10lb hike in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid from the five-year-old but, at the forecast prices, it could be worth taking a punt on CAPTAIN MARCO. Tim Vaughan's new recruit makes the long journey north and he looks just the type to benefit from a summer on his back. Summergrounds and Dalileo are also noted.
DOUBLE POWERFUL was improving fast when last seen and he comes back from 6 months off for an in-form stable, so he's preferred to Dalileo, who ran with credit at Perth recently. Summergrounds is also likely to give a good account.
The most likely winner on 2024 evidence appears to be DOUBLE POWERFUL and the most likely to chase him home is Summergrounds.
