Kelso Race 1 - Borders Carers Centre Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)

Irish raider INTENSE APPROACH (2) was able to get off the mark hurdling at Downpatrick late last month and will have no problem following up. KANDOR (3) may prove the biggest threat on first outing since winning a novices hurdle over 200m shorter here in July. TOP MAN TOM (6) is worth noting making stable debut after finishing second in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter during the summer. Narrow Stratford debut winner GO GO CHICAGO (1) could also feature.

Freshened for 52 days. Last run finished second of 13 starters at Uttoxeter 4yo+ MHDLE (C4) on July 28 over 4000m, 5.5 len behind Full Monty carrying 72kg at $8. The start before that; finished fifth of 10 starters at Newton Abbot 4yo+ MHDLE (C4) on July 5 over 4300m, 20 len behind Yellow Car carrying 71.5kg at $6. Certainly worth another chance in this suitable contest.
