UK Horse Racing Tips: Kelso

CAWTHORNE CRACKER improved for the return to hurdling when runner-up at Bangor. He'll likely be sharper for that first outing since July and looks to have strong claims off his current mark. Fine Point posted his best effort for a while on the fast ground at Sedgefield recently. It would be no surprise if Adam Nicol's five-year-old found himself in contention and he's taken to confirm latest running with the veteran Scots Poet.
Prediction : 1st Cawthorne Cracker 2nd Fine Point 3rd Scots Poet

This looks a good opportunity for HOE JOLY SMOKE to follow up his recent success at Bangor. A dual winner over fences, the son of Black Sam Bellamy won with plenty in hand back over the smaller obstacles and should have the measure of Handmedownastar. The latter returned the disappointing favourite at Cartmel last time, having scored nicely at Fontwell earlier, while Hopeless Dancer went close in claiming company last time but this is much tougher.
Prediction : 1st Hoe Joly Smoke 2nd Handmedownastar 3rd Hopeless Dancer

LORIKO could prove hard to beat. Dan Skelton's charge is improving at a rate of knots, having won four of his last five outings, and he's taken to defy a 6lb penalty after dotting up at Sedgefield a week ago. Bold Light finished closer when beaten a couple of lengths at Perth last time and may give the selection most to think about, while Continuance could make the frame back at this lower level.
Prediction : 1st Loriko 2nd Bold Light 3rd Continuance

LIMERICK LEADER is difficult to oppose on the strength of his recent successes. He supplemented a convincing win at Bangor with last week's impressive victory at Sedgefield and a 7lb penalty is unlikely prevent Nick Schofield's charge from landing the hat-trick. Moonlightinthepark wasn't disgraced when fourth at Bangor on her return from a layoff and Charlie Maggs' allowance further helps her cause. Fairlawn Skipper would be of interest if taking up this engagement after his second at Sedgefield on Monday.
Prediction : 1st Limerick Leader 2nd Moonlightinthepark 3rd Fairlawn Skipper

CONQUER THE BREEZE won by 10 lengths to successfully make it four wins from five starts for the Adam Nicol yard at Perth in July and the assessor may have been kind to only put him up 8lb for that victory. Duke Of Luckley struck in a class 4 event at Stratford on his most recent start and should mount a bold bid, while Garde Des Champs looks up against it.
Prediction : 1st Conquer The Breeze 2nd Duke Of Luckley 3rd Garde Des Champs

CAPE WARRIOR has taken the silver medal home in both of his bumper starts, most recently over track and trip, and now has the services of Sean Bowen. With the potential for more to come, he looks the one to beat. Going On changed hands for 21,000 pounds as a yearling and the booking of Brian Hughes on his introduction is noteworthy. Of the remainder, Back In Favour makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Cape Warrior 2nd Going On 3rd Back In Favour
