15:40 Kelso — Kelso Betting Ring Bookmakers Handicap Hurdle ratings & form
← racecardsImpressed at Kelso and wasn't seen to best effect at Cheltenham; remains promising
Went close behind thriving winner on reappearance at Wetherby and has strong claims up 3lb
4-5 in completed hurdles and 2-2 under William Easterby; much respected on handicap debut
Smart at best but more recent efforts leave him with lots to prove; tongue-tie added
Lightly raced & could play a leading role if finding greater fluency on second chase start
Won by a street on penultimate start; unseated four out when leading on latest; considered
Needs to find a bit extra but he mounted a strong finish last time to give some hope
Has run well to reach frame both starts this season but needs to pull more to win here
Useful at peak in Ireland needs betting check for yard doing well with new recruits
Ex-Irish; won three in summer of 2024; not shown much at long odds for present yard
Good hurdler about four years ago; second run after long absence was better than the first
