261 Chapel Green
Stepped up on his 2 runs in bumpers when second of 6 in novice hurdle at Ayr (16f, soft) on hurdles debut/reappearance 26 days ago, clear of rest. Should improve.

2423 Coniston Clouds
Cloudings gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (stays 3m) Gunfleet and useful hurdler (stayed 3m) Silver Eagle. Showed plenty when second of 5 in a Carlisle bumper on debut back in March, going with enthusiasm, and must enter calculations now sent over hurdles.

209 Arcandy
Had temperament issues in 4 runs last season but looked a reformed character after 7 months off when runner-up in a novice hurdle at Hexham (16.2f) 20 days ago. Needs to back that up now.

10-7Sam ColtherdStuart Coltherdlocked4.5/110/1122
314 Eloi Du Puy
Runner-up in a course bumper on debut. Not in the same form next time but offered something to work sent hurdling after 7 months off when third at Ayr (2m) 31 days ago, needing stiffer test. Open to improvement.
locked25-3B
11-0Bruce Lynn N W Alexanderlocked7/13.33/152
336 Ninetofive
Showed more than on debut when third of 9 in a bumper at Newcastle in March. Ran below that level when filling same spot on last month's C&D hurdling debut but he can do better, especially when tackling longer trips.

11-0Ryan ManiaSandy Thomsonlocked7.5/12/173
392 Chase A Fortune
Showed much improved form after 7 months off when runner-up in a Sedgefield bumper 39 days ago, seeming suited by the switch to front-running tactics with the hood left off. Can't be ruled out on hurdle debut.

1910 Reve De Niamh
Runner-up on only outing for Fergal O'Brien in a Taunton bumper back in January but has run to just a modest level both starts over hurdles for current yard. Improvement needed.

198 Something Golden
Dylan Thomas gelding who offered little in a hood on his hurdling debut here 19 days ago. Down in trip.

257 So Many Roads
Down the field in a Haydock bumper and, although he has shaped a bit better than the distance beaten suggests on both starts over hurdles, he's likely to be of more interest in handicaps after this.

Race 2 Kelso 14:28 Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 23f

271 Miss Milano
Showed improved form to get off the mark in 11-runner handicap hurdle at Wetherby (21.2f) 27 days ago, always holding on. Up 5 lb but she's not taken lightly for yard among the winners.
locked3F32-61
12-0Conor RabbittNicky Richardslocked1.5/11.38/18
474 Without Conviction
Off 6 months before fair third of 5 in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f) 47 days ago. Switches to hurdles and can't be discounted on her handicap debut.

11-7Alan DoyleLucinda Russelllocked3.5/14.5/129
2622 Jen's Georgie
Took her form up a notch when second in 2m6f novice hurdle at Wetherby in March. Weighted to go close on her handicap debut/return.

317 September Daisy
Ended last term below par for Tom George but not disgraced for new yard after 9 months off when fading sixth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ayr (19.5f) 31 days ago. Should buitd on that but she's 6 lb out of the handicap.
locked85694-6B
10-2Danny McMenamin N W Alexanderlocked6.5/14/138
86 Your Place
Remains a maiden after 16 runs. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Hexham (20.1f) 8 days ago so she's hard to warm to with visor replacing usual cheekpieces.
locked23-667P
10-6Derek FoxLucinda Russelllocked16/17/156
1663 Maura Jeanne
Ex-Irish maiden who raced too freely in blinkers when eighth of 14 in handicap hurdle at Downpatrick (21.3f) in June on her final run for Colin McBratney. More needed on her yard debut.

191 Brayhill
Winning Irish pointer who showed plenty over hurdles last season and made a successful switch to chasing in a C&D handicap recently. Another bold showing expected.
locked151/R3-1A
12-0Brian HughesJames Ewartlocked1.75/12.5/143
313 Tfou
Brought along steadily in bumpers/over hurdles last term but took a marked step forward when mowing down a gamble late on at Ayr on chasing/handicap debut a month ago. Will improve further for this longer trip, and makes plenty of appeal.
locked243-1
11-10Sean QuinlanNicky Richardslocked1.88/13/160
265 Destiny Is All
Won a couple of handicaps at Ayr last season and hit the ground running with a good second there on return. Likely to give another good account but could prove vulnerable to improvers.
locked22F11-2B
11-2Derek FoxLucinda Russelllocked4.5/13.5/122
254 Half Track
Fairly useful winning hurdler who got no further than the first sent chasing at Carlisle on return. Not one to write off.

11-8Danny McMenamin N W Alexanderlocked7/13/157
152 Stolen Money
Won all 3 starts over hurdles last season but rather disappointing start to chasing when only sixth in a handicap at Ayr on return. Others make more appeal.

311 Camp Belan
Promising start over fences when runner-up at Bangor and Wetherby last winter but having ended last season with a bit of a whimper, got back on the up when second at Ayr last month. Step back in trip sure to suit so he's fancied to be in the mix.
locked322U7-2
12-0Patrick WadgeLucinda Russelllocked1.38/11.1/120
203 Gipsy Lee Rose
Finally off the mark over fences at Hexham in April. Made mistakes but ran at least as well when third at Ayr on return and similar form when runner-up back at Hexham since. In the mix.
locked23U1-32
11-6Bruce Lynn N W Alexanderlocked2.5/12.75/110
1532 Loughermore
Some creditable efforts at up to 21f this spring before recording first win over fences at Southwell in May. Runner-up on both subsequent outings at Cartmel (finished lame and with heat stress on second occasion) but could be one to look out for on reappearance.
locked43-8122A
11-7William ShanahanSimon Waughlocked3.5/17/1100
315 Maid Of Houxty
Largely disappointed over hurdles last term and held back by her jumping sent chasing on return at Ayr last month. Others make more appeal.
locked3/8968-4B
10-6Lewis DobbDonald Whillanslocked6/15/117
314 King Of Fashion
Dual hurdles winner in 2017 and wouldn't be on a poor mark on his efforts over fences in 2021. Went off big price on return from long absence last time (saddle slipped) and looks best watched again.
