Kelso Race 1 - Borders Carers Centre Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
Irish raider JACKSON LAMB (1) improved markedly to score by 5.5L at Bellewstown over 4123m after a Downpatrick placing. Can win again. MAGIC GLOVES (5) secured a 6L Tattersalls point-to-point win tackling 4828m before a spell. Warrants serious consideration. Main danger. Eagle Top gelding TOP OF THE STARS (4) makes debut and could feature on profile. JENTOBELLO (3) may fill fourth spot.

Resuming from a lengthy break. At only start last campaign finished tenth of 13 starters at Wetherby on March 28 2024 over 3200m, on slow going 35 len behind Jupiter Des Mottes carrying 71kg at $15. Better for the run but looks tested in this line-up.

Recent form hard to fault. Last start finished second in a small field at Hexham on August 27 over 4000m, 2 len behind Mohawk Chief with 70kg at $2.50. Before that held ground to the line finished third of 8 runners at Uttoxeter on July 25 over 3200m, 4.5 len behind Breaking Cover with 71kg at $1.80. Likely to play a major role.

This Eagle Top bred gelding is now seven-year-old and his having his first race start. Will be better for the outing and tempted to give him this.

Resuming. Finished off last preparation winning by 6 len Tattersalls P2p April 13 over 4828m defeating Royale Navy with 60kg. At debut didn't finish the race at Borris House P2p March 2 over 4828m. Strong winning chance.
