UK Horse Racing Tips: Kelso

Not the deepest of contests and it could be another fine opportunity for STEP OUT. Stuart Crawford's charge had been knocking at the door prior to winning at Downpatrick in August so any further improvement can see him go in again. Jumping Susie finished a creditable third at Tramore before occupying the same position at Bangor last month. John McConnell's mare is the main danger in receipt of 2lb, while Hexham scorer Kilmore Rock appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Step Out 2nd Jumping Susie 3rd Kilmore Rock

Oceanline arrives having notched up a brace of successes at Worcester but, although respected from a 7lb raised mark, it is FAMOUS LISS who shades preference. The unexposed six-year-old was narrowly denied over 2m at Hexham when last seen in June. He goes handicapping from a workable mark and with a step up in trip likely to benefit him, it would come as no surprise were Stuart Coltherd's charge to find the necessary improvement. Shared is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Famous Liss 2nd Oceanline 3rd Shared

YOKKELL has taken well to hurdling since having her attentions switched from the Flat. A winner at Down Royal in August, the daughter of Fast Company went on to fill the runner-up spot at Warwick last month. The booking of Harry Cobden catches the eye and with a hood applied for the first time, she could regain the winning thread. Another High Five hit the crossbar in a point-to-point in April and market support should be noted ahead of his Rules debut. Iorangi De L'isle completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Yokkell 2nd Another High Five 3rd Iorangi De Lisle

DO NO WRONG made the frame in this grade over an extended 2m5f here last month and he is only 1lb higher for that performance. Justin Landy's eight-year-old has lots in his favour in his bid to regain the winning thread. Universal Folly was beaten into third in a class 3 event at Perth last time and could go closer now that he takes a drop in class. Breaking The Ice is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Do No Wrong 2nd Universal Folly 3rd Breaking The Ice

FRINGILL DIKE accounted for his nearest rival by a whopping 27 lengths at Newton Abbot in August and he remains in the same grade. If he can run to anywhere near that level again, he could prove very tough to beat. Guy made it two wins from his last three starts when victorious over C&D back in the spring and should mount another bold bid, while Breizh River is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Fringill Dike 2nd Guy 3rd Breizh River

O'GRADY'S HILL has filled the runner-up berth on all three outings under Rules and an opening mark of 99 looks workable. Harry Derham's mare will appreciate the rise in distance and she is expected be fresh following an 81-day break. Theirshegoes appeared to be finding her feet when opening her account at Uttoxeter in June and although subsequently unseating her rider at that same venue, it shouldn't prevent a prominent showing. Market support for stable debutant Iwa on this return to hurdling would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st OGradys Hill 2nd Theirshegoes 3rd Iwa

Double Powerful scored with something up his sleeve when completing a brace at Market Rasen in March. A 10lb hike in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid from the five-year-old but, at the forecast prices, it could be worth taking a punt on CAPTAIN MARCO. Tim Vaughan's new recruit makes the long journey north and he looks just the type to benefit from a summer on his back. Summergrounds and Dalileo are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Captain Marco 2nd Double Powerful 3rd Summergrounds
