13:00 – Ayiko
AYIKO is going the right way as a hurdler and a reproduction of the form shown on his latest start, when runner-up to a nice type from the Willie Mullins yard at Fairyhouse, could be enough to see him open his account in this sphere. This is a deeper maiden that tends to be the case for the track however, and both Jo Coko and Orkney Blue are interesting rivals.
13:30 – Audacious Annie
AUDACIOUS ANNIE had just got herself into contention when a bad error at three from home knocked the stuffing out of her on her hurdling debut at Ffos Las last month and, open to plenty of improvement providing she cuts out the mistakes, she’s taken to make it second time lucky in this sphere in what doesn’t look the strongest race. My Kiwi Girl and That’ll Do Moss are a couple of obvious threats.
14:00 – Cold Sobar
COLD SOBAR is seemingly hard to train, an eight-year-old who has had only four career starts, but he produced a promising first effort in this sphere on the back of a lengthy absence when third at Carlisle last month and, with progress on the cards, for a yard that does well at this track, he’s selected to build on that promise now. Musselburgh scorer Chapel Green and Dunnet Head are fancied to pose the chief threats.
14:30 – Chasingouttheblues
There are plenty in with a chance in an open handicap, but it might pay to side with CHASINGOUTTHEBLUES, the youngest and least exposed of these who is now tackling staying trips for the first time having scored on handicap debut last month. Guernsey ran well in a higher grade last time and has solid claims, while Lady In The Park should not be discounted having returned to form over hurdles. Buy Some Time deserves an honourable mention on his return from an absence, and he’s one to keep an eye on in the market.
15:05 – El Elefante
Though EL ELEFANTE has failed to go on from her winning chase debut in two subsequent appearances, it would be no surprise whatsoever to see her get back on track now that her sights are lowered. Indeed, she has contested listed events the last twice, finding that level a little too much, and this company is not so taxing based on her previous form in this sphere. Irish raider Duffle Coat will be a big threat, despite conceding lumps of weight all round, if close to his best following a break, while Hashtag Boum has taken really well to fences and she has to be feared, too.
15:40 – Follow Charlie
FOLLOW CHARLIE needs to dispel a lesser effort at Kelso but a return to this venue (both wins gained over course and distance) rates an obvious plus with the cheekpieces now reached for and he’s given a chance to bounce back. Ruby Island promises to be suited by the step back up in trip and she’s feared. Gordon Elliott’s Timmy Tuesday on handicap debut is another to note.
16:13 – Caballo De Guerra
CABALLO DE GUERRA travelled well for a long way when an encouraging third at Wetherby on debut, doing well to last as long as he did given the strong hold took and, with an experience edge over most, he’s fancied to open his account at the second attempt. They’re Chancers and Count Adhemar are both notable newcomers for well-respected stables.
