Race 1 – Kelso Racecourse
TARTAN COOKIE was a pleasing winner over slightly further at Newcastle at the start of this month. A 6lb hike doesn’t look like it’ll stop another strong effort from Ewan Whillans’ charge. TRAVAIL D’ORFEVRE got back into the swing of things when 2nd over 2m here latest and could plenty of improvement now significantly upped in trip and going handicapping.
Top Tip – TARTAN COOKIE (12)
One to consider – TRAVAIL D’ORFEVRE (8)

Race 2 – Kelso Racecourse
GREY SKIES was an eye-catching winner on yard debut for Don McCain at Uttoxeter over this trip latest. He can post another strong effort with that under his belt despite weathering a 6lb penalty. CLIFFS OF DOONEEN is worth a look on hurdle debut as he was a decent flat performer who could transition well.
Top Tip – GREY SKIES (2)
One to consider – CLIFFS OF DOONEEN (4)
Race 3 – Kelso Racecourse
STAINSBY GIRL found a well-treated sort too good when 2nd at Haydock at the start of December. She gained her due compensation when home well over C&D last month and she looks difficult to beat off just 2lb higher today. ELVIS MAIL was 2nd that day and off the same mark could fill the runner-up berth once more.

Race 4 – Kelso Racecourse
SOUNDS RUSSIAN has notched an impressive double, including by 16 lengths here over slightly shorter. A short rest will have done him well and he looks likely to secure the hat trick despite a further 11lb hike. NICEANDEASY fell here in the aforementioned contest where the selection dominated. He seemed no worse for wear when scoring at Doncaster since and could offer some credible resistance.
Top Tip – SOUNDS RUSSIAN (3)
One to consider – NICEANDEASY (5)
Race 5 – Kelso Racecourse
EMPIRE STEEL was tracking well before encountering trouble in the run and having to be pulled up 4 out at Haydock in a G2 event latest. A 4lb lower mark and a return to a course he has done well at in the past could see him a serious player in these calmer waters. CLAN LEGEND is respected off his score at Aintree on penultimate outing against some reopposing rivals and is only 1b higher.
Top Tip – EMPIRE STEEL (4)
One to consider – CLAN LEGEND (5)

Race 6 – Kelso Racecourse
JETT was last seen a close 3rd to a useful rival at Doncaster in December and is looking too good for this lot. He is making his first start for the mighty Waley-Cohen boys and should get his way before possibly lining up for another bid in the Grand National. MONBEG CHIT CHAT has landed a couple of point-to-points during a layoff from the track and looks best placed to fill the runner-up berth.
Top Tip – JETT (3)
One to consider – MONBEG CHIT CHAT (1)
Race 7 – Kelso Racecourse
AIN’T NO SUNSHINE gets the nod on debut for Keith Dalgleish, a trainer who knows how to get a debutant prepared for the task at hand. He’s of useful pedigree and Brian Hughes in the plate is very pleasing. CHASE A FORTUNE could prove the danger having struck the crossbar on debut at Sedgefield last month and should only come forward for the experience.
Top Tip – AIN’T NO SUNSHINE (1)
One to consider – CHASE A FORTUNE (9)
