UK Horse Racing Tips: Kelso

HOLLYGROVE CHA CHA appreciated the return to hurdles when running away with a Listed contest at Warwick last month. The manner of that performance suggests Jamie Snowden's mare wouldn't have an issue with stepping up to 3m and may even improve for it. World Of Fortunes went close in a Grade 3 at Punchestown last time and enters calculations along with Listentoyourheart.
Prediction : 1st Hollygrove Cha Cha 2nd World Of Fortunes 3rd Listentoyourheart

Judicial Deference handled a 7lb rise for his handicap debut success at Haydock when landing the hat-trick here over slightly further last month. The seven-year-old may well have further progression to come, but BROOKSIDE LA, who finished third at Haydock, has strong claims of reversing the form on 9lb better terms. Dan Skelton's gelding had won the time before at Wetherby and remains unexposed over hurdles. Speiriuil, Eloi Du Puy and Bathgate appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Brookside La 2nd Judicial Deference 3rd Speiriuil

KHRISMA makes plenty of appeal on her handicap debut and has the credentials to be well ahead of her opening mark. Nicky Henderson's mare was talked up for the County Hurdle ahead of Cheltenham last week but was too low in the weights to get a run and this valuable prize appears to be well within her compass. Queenie St Clair may have been inconvenienced by a quick turnaround at Newbury and is worth another chance, while First Candidate and Beauty In The Park are both open to significant improvement.
Prediction : 1st Khrisma 2nd Queenie St Clair 3rd First Candidate

Diamond Dealer put his disappointing effort at this venue well behind him when hitting the crossbar at Wetherby and looks sure to play a leading role again. Defence Witness is in good form and first-time blinkers could eke out more, but the vote goes to BRIDGE COURT. Sandy Thompson's charge appreciated the step up in distance to score with ease at Musselburgh last month and even an 8lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side.
Prediction : 1st Bridge Court 2nd Diamond Dealer 3rd Defence Witness

It's hard to ignore the claims of BLAKEY BOY, who was eased down near the finish when successful at Ayr last month and shouldn't have any problems with the extra distance. If in similar form, he will prove very hard to beat. Dare To Shout filled the runner-up spot over an extended 2m4f at Ayr and commands respect, while Ludlow scorer Aboutdamntime isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Blakey Boy 2nd Dare To Shout 3rd Aboutdamntime

GAELIC ROVER was probably beaten when coming down in the Premier Novices' Hurdle here, but impressive displays at Newcastle booked him that Grade 2 ticket and he remains a smart prospect. So is Eagles Reprieve, who chased home the same winner as Gaelic Rover did at Newcastle after keeping The G Wizard at bay here, and he will be waiting to pounce should the selection's stamina fail him. Rememberthename made the frame in handicap company last time, but needs to pull out more.
Prediction : 1st Gaelic Rover 2nd Eagles Reprieve 3rd Rememberthename

Diamond White had the disappointing Kilaro a couple of places behind her when third at Newcastle, although the latter could at least close the gap with the application of a hood expected to help him settle better. King Kubala, Fridaysman and Presentandcorrect have shown enough to warrant an interest, but a chance is taken on BARITO. The five-year-old was snapped up for 60,000 pounds after making it second-time lucky between the flags and should have the pace to do a job in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Barito 2nd Diamond White 3rd Kilaro
