Kelso Tips

Expecting a solid tempo early in the race. INTENSE APPROACH has been flying of late and has a lot of early speed, big chance. CARVED IN STONE resumes from a spell of 41 weeks and last start winner to break maiden at Doncaster, consider in exotics. KANDOR let-up for nine weeks. Has plenty of early speed and a likely leader, outside hope. GO GO CHICAGO at only start winner at Stratford, capable of getting into the money with a bit of luck.

Backmarkers should get their chance in a good speed race. BARON DE MIDLETON has genuine early speed and should run fitter for past attempts, genuine contender. KALEB back from six week let-up and capable of racing on speed, don't treat lightly. ARAMAX capable of racing on speed and R P McLernon has had success aboard previously, not without each-way claims. WELL EDUCATED in strong form with two wins from six attempts this campaign and has multiple wins at Kelso, sneaky chance.

Looks to have good pace engaged in this one. NO REGRETS let-up and looks the leader, well placed. FLIC OU VOYOU back from 16 week spell and proven first-up runner winning in four of 11 attempts, don't dismiss. THE KING OF MAY back from eight week let-up and capable of racing on speed, looks threatening. HALF SHOT let-up and winner of one when first-up including ran second at Kelso last go, cannot be ruled out.

Backmarkers should get their chance in a good speed race. HEART ABOVE finished three quarters of a length back from the leader last start at Cartmel on a soft track when first up and has genuine early speed, commands respect. FAIRMAC capable of racing on speed and should run fitter for past attempts, still in this. IOLANI has genuine early speed and rates highly with William Maggs aboard, could upset. GAME BEAAA back from nine week let-up and has a lot of early speed, could threaten.

Can’t imagine one of the top two not winning. PAY THE PIPER first-up after 16 week break and has genuine early speed, among the main chances. RESTANDBETHANKFUL capable of racing on speed and four from seven wins have been in the dry, for the wider exotics. MINT GOLD first-up after 21 week break and winner of one when first-up including ran second at Musselburgh last go, outside hope. GARDE DES CHAMPS has genuine early speed and has five placings from eight runs this prep, capable of getting into the money with a bit of luck.

Minimal data makes this tricky. GETAWAY FRANKIE amongst the placegetters at only start running third at Market Rasen, a close top selection. GHIDORA placed at only start at Perth, for the wider exotics. TACKLETOMMYWOOWOO resumes from an 18 week spell and placed at only start at Plumpton, include in exotics. EXPRESS RUN on debut and has not trialled, for the exotics.
