UK Horse Racing Tips: Kelso

Not the deepest of contests and it might pay to side with the lightly-raced five-year-old BURNING IT UP. Recent efforts wouldn't necessarily point towards a step up to this extended 3m suiting, but his pedigree offers some hope and Dominic Hislop removing a handy 10lb is no bad thing either. Be The Difference arrives following a couple of positive efforts and must enter calculations, while Victory Club is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Burning It Up 2nd Be The Difference 3rd Victory Club

Although beaten eight lengths into third at Ayr, it was a positive first spin over fences for ADVERAM. Ian Duncan's gelding was also making his seasonal return that day so with the likelihood of more to come, he might take the necessary step forward. Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore saddle two, with Golden Point possibly their leading hope. Frisby, however, shaped as if in need of a step up in trip at Perth and now afforded just that, he could be a bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Adveram 2nd Frisby 3rd Golden Point

Stratford bumper winner Fairlawn Skipper is expected to go close having proven consistent over hurdles so far, but so has EAGLES REPRIEVE. The four-year-old sets the standard with an official rating of 111 and, should a step up in trip suit, he is likely to take all the beating. Point-to-point winner Solid Performer makes his debut under Rules as a seven-year-old and market support would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Eagles Reprieve 2nd Fairlawn Skipper 3rd Solid Performer

Triple Crown Ted didn't manage to justify favouritism on his jumping bow over track and trip, but there was still plenty of encouragement to take from his third. He was three lengths adrift of THEY'RE CHANCERS when both were introduced in an Ayr bumper at the start of the year, though, and Nicky Richards' smart prospect can confirm that superiority, despite the absence and lack of jumping experience. Linalene only got as far as the first in the aforementioned C&D race, but must not be dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Theyre Chancers 2nd Triple Crown Ted 3rd Linalene

Ballyfort dug deep to account for Trac over C&D latest and there should be little between them again. Treaty Boy was brought down when still in contention in that event, but has finished a well-beaten second subsequently. Stick With Me Sam has had wind surgery and a break since a Bangor mishap, but MOON PHASES was actually declared for the Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree before being ruled out by good ground. If connections feel he is up to that sort of level, a mark of 105 on his handicap/chase debut is there to be taken advantage of.
Prediction : 1st Moon Phases 2nd Ballyfort 3rd Trac

Brian Hughes got a great tune out of Magnolia over track and trip last month, but has deserted her to partner JOLTIN N JIVING. The Donald McCain-trained five-year-old was out of his depth in the Top Novices' Hurdle at Aintree when last seen, but looked a useful prospect prior to that and could be well treated for his handicap debut. Kingston Narcissus also returns from an absence and was in fine form at Sedgefield prior to a Musselburgh fall. Jaminoz should be fit from the Flat, while Dee's Getaway needs to prove her Ayr triumph wasn't a fluke.
Prediction : 1st Joltin N Jiving 2nd Magnolia 3rd Jaminoz
