Kelso

Winner of a handicap chase in Ireland during the autumn and in good form back hurdling since the turn of the year, bagging back-to-back handicaps at Southwell and Fakenham in February, both at around 3m. Pitched into a better race and always on the back foot at Musselburgh the following month.

A fair bumper winner for Tom Weston last spring. Yet to match that form over hurdles, but he's found his level with a brace of placed efforts at Newcastle (21f). Upped markedly in distance.

Maiden under Rules but a point winner in March and kept on nicely on fifth starting out for new yard in 20.9f handicap here a fortnight ago. Upped markedly in trip.

Maiden w=but has displayed improved form in handicaps, again shaping like a stayer when third at Perth (3m) a fortnight ago. Upped further in trip and he may well have a bigger effort in him.

Fair ex-French maiden hurdler showed more than she has on her most recent start for current connections when (500/1) 21 lengths fourth of 6 to Lavida Adiva in a Listed Hurdle, although flattered by her proximity to the placed horses. Weakened out of it back in a handicap at Ayr 4 weeks ago.

Off the mark under Rules at Hexham last June and back from a couple of lesser efforts when mid-field in re-fitted cheekpieces here a fortnight ago (21f). Up in distance.
