Kelso 1.55
By UK Flat / AW (Northern)
NORTHERN - Kelso 1.55 Handicap Hurdle - Class 4 - 2 miles 6 and 1/2 furlongs - 9 run - Soft > Heavy
THere are three here who dominate the market but I'm not convinced that Eloi Du Puy will appreciate the Going conditions off an inflated mark nor Immortal Flame who is up 9lbs and who has no substantive form in Heavy conditions. The other favourite is Nab Wood who was impressive in winning a Maiden but who makes a Handicap debut off a mark of 114 and also has yet to really encounter deep Heavy Going.
At big Odds it's worth noting that Didtheyleaveuoutto drops significantly in Class and its last win was when it was eased in Grade, I did consider a small bet but will leave that to your discretion but there is another who i think is a cracking each way punt to three places.
GRAND VOYAGE is a Course and Distance winner off a mark of 113, been out of form but a return here and to conditions that will suit it far more than almost any other horse here on past evidence and off a mark of 114 gives it a cracking each way chance.
