Kelso

Wednesday, September 17, 2025ChaseClass 42m5f

A competitive handicap in which marginal preference is for LET'S SAIL AWAY who has shaped well on both runs in this sphere and can race off the same mark as when runner-up at Worcester last time (form been franked). Nickelforce is knocking on the door and rates a big danger though, while last year's victor Half Shot and the returning Step Above need factoring in too.

    In good nick until tenth of 11 in handicap chase at Cartmel (21.2f, good) 23 days ago, though he did too much too soon. Took this 12 months ago and remains very much one to consider.

    C&D winner who was in decent form when last seen in the spring, fifth of 9 in handicap chase here (20f, good) last time. Has won off a break so he's one for the shortlist eased 1 lb.

    Verdict
    Talented chaser for Willie Mullins in his pomp and also scored for James Owen at Ludlow back in 2022. Had breathing surgery and has shown little in a pair of handicap chases here and at Sedgefield for his new yard in April. Lots to prove after a lay-off.

    Verdict
    It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2022 but he posted a good second at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) when last seen out 6 months ago. Has gone well fresh too so needs considering in a refitted visor.

    Over 2 years since last win and he often flatters to deceive, though not discredited when third of 6 in handicap chase at Cartmel (17.3f, good) 25 days ago. Remains opposable.
