|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16:30 Kelso | 3rd (1) Go Go Chicago |  | | | | 7 | Jamie Hamilton | Ruth Jefferson | Joined present yard after winning a Stratford novice hurdle on debut in June (2m2f, good; 10-11 favourite, had already been given a wind op); that form has not worked out; no easy task with a penalty. |
| 16:30 Kelso | 1st (2) Intense Approach | | | | | 5 | Alex Harvey | John C McConnell | Dual bumper winner; improved since being stepped up in trip, last time winning Downpatrick maiden hurdle by 15l (2m6f, good); chance although two runs back finished second to Step Out who had been second to Kandor at Perth on his previous start. |
| 16:30 Kelso | 2nd (3) Kandor | | | | | 5 | Patrick Wadge | Lucinda Russell | Off the mark on second hurdles run when winning 2m4f novice at Perth in July (good); chance on that form as runner-up went on to beat Intense Approach at Downpatrick next time (2m6f). |
| 16:30 Kelso | (4) Highlander Hill | | | | | 7 | Edward Austin | Paul Robson | Modest form in a bumper and in two races over hurdles two seasons ago (all at around 2m with give in the ground); today's conditions may suit better; stiff task on return from 612-day break. |
| 16:30 Kelso | (5) Major Champion | | | | | 5 | Conor Rabbitt | Maurice Barnes | Third in two races at Hexham in May/June (both over 2m4f on good); had a wind operation in between; below par latest (11 days after second Hexham run); cheekpieces now tried; would be better off in a handicap. |
| 16:30 Kelso | (6) Top Man Tom | | | | | 5 | Danny McMenamin | Sandy Thomson | Won an Irish point at tenth attempt; runner-up in a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle (2m4f, good) on final start for Ben Pauling; sold £13,500 last month; quite interesting on debut for new yard. |
| 16:30 Kelso | 4th (7) Carved In Stone | | | | | 4 | Brian Hughes | Hugo Palmer | Fair form in bumpers (won at Doncaster last December); didn't jump well when well beaten on hurdles debut last month; should improve on that. |
| 17:05 Kelso | 7th (1) Aramax | | | | | 8 | Richie McLernon | Ben Haslam | Formerly a very useful hurdler/chaser; not quite so good these days but won two 3m handicap hurdles on good ground last summer; bit below par since; on a good mark and today's going will suit but better over further these days. |
| 17:05 Kelso | 5th (2) Kaleb | | | | | 6 | Jack Quinlan | Amy Murphy | Won off a 3lb lower mark at Market Rasen in May (2m4f, good); sound run when fourth in a Galway handicap hurdle last time (2m4f, good to yielding; second and sixth have won since); chance. |
| 17:05 Kelso | 2nd (3) Baron De Midleton | | | | | 11 | Sean Bowen | Brian Ellison | Won a Market Rasen handicap off 3lb higher in January (2m4f, good to soft); fair second on same track last month (2m7f, good); each-way chance. |
| 17:05 Kelso | 4th (4) Well Educated | | | | | 8 | Jonathon Bewley | George Bewley | Has had a good summer with wins at Hexham (2m4f, good) and over 2m here (good to soft) before finishing 3l second to Ashington (4lb worse off) at Cartmel two runs ago (2m1f, good); should go well again. |
| 17:05 Kelso | (5) Nayati | | | | | 10 | Brian Hughes | Donald McCain | Hasn't won since January 2023; now 16lb lower; finished in front of Ashington and Well Educated when fourth in first-time tongue-tie (retained) over 2m1f on soft at Cartmel last time but not sure to confirm the form on today's better ground. |
| 17:05 Kelso | 1st (6) Ashington | | | | | 9 | Jamie Hamilton | Mark Walford | Won his first race for more than two years when beating Well Educated (4lb better off) by 3l at Cartmel two runs ago (2m1f, good); this trip is fine; could bounce back after a lesser run on unsuitable soft ground last time. |
| 17:05 Kelso | 3rd (7) The Churchill Lad | | | | | 5 | Ross Chapman | Rebecca Menzies | Three hurdle wins have all been at around 2m but he was far from disgraced when third over 2m6f on heavy at Cartmel last time; quite interesting. |
| 17:05 Kelso | 6th (8) Kinbara Firstdraft | | | | | 5 | James Bowen | S R B Crawford | Unexposed sort; won a 2m handicap at Perth in June (2m, good to firm); went up 6lb and lesser run over same C&D last time; may fare better on first run at 2m4f (well beaten in 3m Irish point). |
| 17:35 Kelso | 2nd (1) Flic Ou Voyou | | | | | 10 | Danny McMenamin | Henry Hogarth | Nothing like the force of old but ran best rest for current stable when dead-heating at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; demoted to second) in July and can cope with a 3lb rise if in similar form again. |
| 17:35 Kelso | 4th (2) No Regrets | | | | | 10 | Sean Quinlan | Nicky Richards | Just held on from Everyday Champagne in first-time visor here (2m7f, good) in May and gave another good account at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) in July; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but can make his presence felt again. |
| 17:35 Kelso | 1st (3) Half Shot | | | | | 10 | Brian Hughes | Iain Jardine | Not at best over fences or hurdles this season but now 11lb lower than when creditable fourth in valuable handicap chase at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in April and could be dangerous if he responds well to first-time blinkers. |
| 17:35 Kelso | 3rd (4) Do No Wrong | | | | | 8 | Callum Bewley | Justin Landy | Ran as though something was amiss on latest outing in July but was in good form beforehand and has good strike-rate over fences (4-11); will be suited by today's trip/ground; contender if back on song. |
| 17:35 Kelso | (5) Breakdance Kid | | | | | 6 | Sam Coltherd | Stuart Coltherd | 2-5 over fences, the latter win gained by 14l at Hexham (3m, good) in June; went up 11lb for that, though and is too inconsistent to rely upon; others preferred. |
| 17:35 Kelso | (6) Everyday Champagne | | | | | 8 | Bruce Lynn | N W Alexander | Ran brave race from the front before succumbing narrowly to former stablemate No Regrets here (2m7f, good) in May and returns here after another two creditable seconds (both over 3m at Perth); respected. |
| 17:35 Kelso | (7) Jem In Em | | | | | 6 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | Won over hurdles here (3m2f, soft) last autumn and was still in good form in the spring; should have a future over fences but this chasing debut comes after a four-month break and he may need more of a stamina test to be seen to best effect; swaps blinkers for refitted cheekpieces. |
| 17:35 Kelso | (8) Finn Lough | | | | | 5 | Toby Wynne | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Low-mileage 5yo who came second in two handicap hurdles in the spring (2m2f/2m4f); connections are evidently very keen to switch him to fences, and his 6l Irish point win in 2023 bodes very well for his chasing prospects. |
| 17:35 Kelso | (9) Arctic Ambition | | | | | 9 | Jonjo O'Neill Jr | Paul Robson | Seemingly back in good form when clear second at Cartmel (2m5f, good) in June but has disappointed twice since (found to have irregular heartbeat last time); blinkers removed after one use; booking of Jonjo O'Neill Jr not enough to tempt. |
| 17:35 Kelso | (10) Sean Og | | | | | 6 | Conor O'Farrell | Dianne Sayer | Dual chase winner at Cartmel this summer (2m5f, good/heavy); nudged up only 2lb for the latter success and ran well over hurdles on only previous visit to Kelso; could still have a bigger performance in him; high on the list. |
| 17:35 Kelso | (11) The King Of May | | | | | 10 | Sean Bowen | Brian Ellison | Ended long losing streak off much reduced mark at Cartmel (2m5f, soft) in July; combination of 4lb rise and faster ground ought to be manageable here but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again. |
| 18:05 Kelso | (1) Valleyview Tommy | | | | | 5 | Lewis Dobb | Sandy Thomson | Unexposed; best run when second in a Musselburgh maiden in December (2m4f, good to soft); not so good on softer ground since; interesting on handicap debut. |
| 18:05 Kelso | (2) Fairmac | | | | | 6 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | Won five Flat races at up to 1m4f for the Johnstons (latest win for Anthony Charlton was on snow); had wind surgery before running two creditable races over hurdles this summer, last time finishing third in a maiden at Perth (2m, good; pulled quite hard); interesting on handicap debut. |
| 18:05 Kelso | (3) Upagainstit | | | | | 7 | Theo Gillard | Donald McCain | Won a Warwick novice handicap chase (2m, soft) off an 8lb higher mark in March 2023; fair run when over hurdles at Bangor in June (2m, good); cheekpieces tried; bit to prove. |
| 18:05 Kelso | 4th (4) Minella Youngy | | | | | 6 | Sean Quinlan | Lizzie Quinlan | Ex-Iain Jardine; won a 2m1f handicap chase on this card last September (good), but rather disappointing for new connections in three runs since (all over fences); may do better now back hurdling. |
| 18:05 Kelso | (5) Darkest Day | | | | | 9 | Sam Coltherd | William Young Jnr | Won a 2m5f handicap (good) on this card last season and went on to win over this C&D (good) eight days later; mainly disappointing since and bit to prove on his return from a 66-day break. |
| 18:05 Kelso | (6) Game Beaaa | | | | | 7 | Callum Bewley | Daragh Bourke | Only win was off 4lb lower over this trip at Market Rasen in August 2023 (good); three creditable runs at around 2m this summer; back after 66 days off; one to consider back up in trip. |
| 18:05 Kelso | (7) Edgewell | | | | | 6 | Ross Chapman | Rebecca Menzies | Well beaten at up to 2m4f over hurdles (soft/heavy) last year; hasn't shown significant improvement in handicap chases on good ground this summer (last twice with cheekpieces); visor tried on return to hurdling; plenty to prove. |
| 18:05 Kelso | (8) Balranald | | | | | 8 | Jamie Hamilton | Alison Hamilton | Only win in 31 runs over hurdles was at Bangor in May last year (2m, good; ran off 3lb higher); some fair efforts since; may need the run on return from a break. |
| 18:05 Kelso | 3rd (9) Heart Above | | | | | 6 | Conor O'Farrell | Dianne Sayer | Placed in three bumpers on good/good to soft (two over 2m here); bit disappointing over hurdles but ran one of his best races when runner-up last time at Cartmel (2m1f, soft; fifth won next time); up 3lb; a possible. |
| 18:05 Kelso | (10) Willy Nilly | | | | | 7 | Peter Kavanagh | Lisa Harrison | Two wins on the Flat were over 1m on fast ground; exposed maiden over hurdles; decent run after a break when fourth at Perth in July (2m, good; Game Beaaa second) and should come on for that run; interesting. |
| 18:05 Kelso | 1st (11) Well Done Dani | | | | | 7 | Toby Wynne | Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero | Won two 2m handicaps on good/good to soft last year; mainly disappointing since (pulled up after being hampered last time); hard to fancy. |
| 18:05 Kelso | 2nd (12) Iolani | | | | | 12 | William Maggs | Miss A M Slack | Prolific winning veteran (two wins on good ground here); latest success was in a Cartmel seller in May (2m1f, soft); not quite as good since (ran too free last time); wouldn't rule out. |
| 18:05 Kelso | (13) Edmond Dantes | | | | | 8 | Lorcan Murtagh | Barry Murtagh | Good second at Hexham following a wind op in June 2023 (2m, good); well beaten in three runs since and best watched after 313-day break |
| 18:05 Kelso | (14) Ivynator | | | | | 6 | Danny McMenamin | Jean McGregor | Has won on the Flat; out of form this year; others make more appeal. |
| 18:35 Kelso | 5th (1) Grey Diamond | | | | | 10 | Theo Gillard | Donald McCain | Very useful at his best for Sam Thomas but his six-race spell for Gordon Elliott in Ireland was very disappointing and he didn't achieve much when remote second in two-finisher race for latest new stable last month; hood refitted here; revival needed. |
| 18:35 Kelso | 6th (2) Arthur's Quay | | | | | 10 | Richie McLernon | Ben Haslam | Five chase wins, the latest off today's mark at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) last November; not at best when fourth at Cartmel (2m5f, good) in May, though, and was pulled up after making bad jumping error there the following month. |
| 18:35 Kelso | 1st (3) Pay The Piper | | | | | 9 | Danny McMenamin | Ann Hamilton | Seemingly on the downgrade now but made the frame four consecutive times in the spring (once over C&D on good ground) and has a fighting chance if ready to roll after 114-day break. |
| 18:35 Kelso | (4) Mint Gold | | | | | 10 | Patrick Wadge | Lucinda Russell | Returned from mammoth absence to beat Restandbethankful in small field at Musselburgh (2m, soft) last November and kept on well for second on his final two starts last season; versatile regarding ground and can evidently go well when fresh; no surprise if he features. |
| 18:35 Kelso | 4th (5) Cracking Destiny | | | | | 11 | Callum Bewley | Ewan Whillans | Seven-time winner over fences but not firing on all cylinders this season; looked to be struggling before falling in latest chase in July and not much went to plan over hurdles last month; needs to turn a corner. |
| 18:35 Kelso | 2nd (6) Restandbethankful | | | | | 8 | Sean Quinlan | Lizzie Quinlan | Three-time chase winner who seemed to have benefited from latest wind op when keeping on well to beat bang-in-form subsequent winner at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) last month; 7lb higher here but will be fine on the faster ground and features prominently in calculations. |
| 18:35 Kelso | 3rd (7) Garde Des Champs | | | | | 8 | Derek Fox | Lucinda Russell | 0-9 over fences but has made the frame four consecutive times on good ground at Perth this summer (2m-2m4f), the last twice from out of the weights; completes off correct mark here and should be fine on this left-handed track. |
| 19:05 Kelso | 1st (1) Beyond The Verge | | | | | 5 | Nathan Moscrop | Susan Corbett | Out of an unraced mare; would be a rare bumper winner for the stable. |
| 19:05 Kelso | (2) Express Run | | | | | 5 | Callum Bewley | Justin Landy | Out of a sister to smart jumper Peregrine Run; held second place before last-fence fall in good-ground Irish point in April and is worth keeping an eye on in the betting before this rules debut; tongue-tie fitted. |
| 19:05 Kelso | (3) Milverton | | | | | 5 | Robbie Colgan | Karl Thornton | Flat-bred 5yo; raced too freely and shot his bolt too soon when well-held second at Perth (good) on last month's debut but significant positives can still be drawn from that performance, and the winner has followed up over hurdles since. |
| 19:05 Kelso | 3rd (4) Tackletommywoowoo | | | | | 4 | Robert Dunne | Samuel Drinkwater | Half-brother to useful Irish hurdler Redwood Queen; respectable third on debut at Plumpton (good) in May and ought to have learned from that experience; could have a say here. |
| 19:05 Kelso | 4th (5) Getaway Frankie | | | | | 5 | Conor Rabbitt | Nicky Richards | Disappointed on debut in May but finished ahead of Blackwater Lilly and fared much better when third at Market Rasen (good) in July; stable does well in bumpers (16% strike-rate); no surprise if she makes further progress here. |
| 19:05 Kelso | 2nd (6) Blackwater Lilly | | | | | 4 | Patrick Wadge | Brian Ellison | Out of a dual bumper winner and built upon her fairly encouraging debut when second of 14 in mares' race at Uttoxeter (good) in July; takes on males here but has a significant role to play. |
| 19:05 Kelso | (7) Ghidora | | | | | 4 | Brian Hughes | Adam Nicol | Out of a bumper winner; finished only 1l behind Milverton when keeping-on third at Perth (good) last month but arguably shaped with a fair bit less promise than that rival. |
