UK Horse Racing Tips: Kelso

A comfortable winner here on his hurdles bow last month, there should be plenty more to come from CADELL, and the son of Mahler is entitled to improve for the step up in trip. Charlie Uberalles reverts to hurdles after a comfortable success over the larger obstacles at Perth and he must enter calculations, along with Chance The Robin, who scored in fine style at Hexham back in May.
Prediction : 1st Cadell 2nd Charlie Uberalles 3rd Chance The Robin

A winner of three of his last four over C&D, BOLLINGERANDKRUG continues to go from strength to strength and a 6lb rise for his most recent victory could prove especially lenient as he drops in grade. The only rival to get the better of him in those four starts is the reopposing Duty Calls in March, but he didn't show much in two subsequent starts. Gandhi Maker went close at Carlisle last time out and should be able to build on that.
Prediction : 1st Bollingerandkrug 2nd Duty Calls 3rd Gandhi Maker

A tentative vote goes to LOCK DOWN LUKE, who has won two of his last three starts around here and gives every indication that he may relish the step up beyond three miles. The son of Lucarno has won fresh before and he is preferred to the unexposed Hexham runner-up Monochromix, as well as Shoeshine Boy, who has been in consistent form more recently. Butler's Brief and Pavlik have the form to get involved too.
Prediction : 1st Lock Down Luke 2nd Monochromix 3rd Shoeshine Boy

Plenty arrive here with live chances but it's RED HAPPY who is fancied to follow up his win over 2m3f at Exeter. The six-year-old is having his first run for trainer George Bewley and there might be more to come. Fellow last-time-out winner Return Fire is also fancied to offer a bold bid after scoring readily over 2m4f at Hexham, while Just Don't Know should also be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Red Happy 2nd Return Fire 3rd Just Dont Know

DE LEGISLATOR struggled to seriously threaten in Grade 2 company when last seen at Haydock in February and he is fancied to make his presence felt back in these calmer waters. Lucinda Russell's charge makes his handicap/chase debut and he looks the one to beat. Prince Des Fichaux is also respected after scoring at Ffos Las in April, while Gentleman De Mai isn't easily ignored.
Prediction : 1st De Legislator 2nd Prince Des Fichaux 3rd Gentleman De Mai

ELOI DU PUY can be marked up for his win over C&D last time after racing keenly and clattering into the final hurdle, so he could be difficult to beat. Nick Alexander's runner has been raised 3lb in the ratings for that success which doesn't appear out of his reach. The reopposing Strike Of Lighting (second) is feared most now 2lb better off with the selection, while Shantou Moon completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Eloi Du Puy 2nd Strike Of Lighting 3rd Shantou Moon

Positive market vibes for Irish raider Joker Du Chenet could be significant, a comment which also applies to fellow handicap debutant So They Say, who has had wind surgery since her two moderate runs in February last year. All that said, it may pay to stick with HEADSCARF LIL, who handled testing conditions really well when just touched off over 3m at Perth in September.
Prediction : 1st Headscarf Lil 2nd Joker Du Chenet 3rd So They Say

Presently showed plenty of promise in successive bumpers in the summer and has to be respected after a switch to Donald McCain's yard, but preference is for Irish raider AL KALILA, who caught the eye when a good third behind two subsequent winners at Perth first time out. Heart Above, a runner-up here in the spring, looks the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Al Kalila 2nd Presently 3rd Heart Above
