Kelso Race 1 - Welcome To Family Day Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
FINE THING (1) completed a double providing her first two hurdle starts at Uttoxeter and Stratford. She was beaten 14L carrying top weight tackling a shorter trip sixteen days ago and back up in distance with first time cheekpieces adopted is the one to beat. JENTOBELLO (2) finished top four all six hurdling attempts. Rarely beaten far and the addition of blinkers will help him go close. MR RAMOON (3) showed very little in two outings on the racecourse. He managed one good point-to-point performance which suggests the longer trip will suit though is perhaps not on the level of his rivals in this.

Useful type. Last start finished fourth of 7 starters at Newton Abbot on September 18 over 3400m, 14 len behind Babs with 75.5kg at $2.50. Race before won by 1.5 len Stratford-On-Avon on August 20 over 4400m defeating Porcupine Bank with 70kg at $3.30 in a hurdle. Should stay out of trouble in the small field and is the testing material.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming finished fourth of 10 starters at Market Rasen on August 15 over 4100m, 10 len behind Centurion's Sister with 71.5kg at $4.50. Last start raced on the pace then finished second of 9 runners at Uttoxeter on September 15 over 4000m, 2 len behind Nightflyer with 72kg at $3. Likely to play a major role.

Resuming after a break; having raced just once last campaign made some head-way from midfield; finished seventh of 9 runners at Hexham on June 13 over 3200m, 53 len behind Obsessedwithyou carrying 68.5kg at $11. When resuming last campaign finished ninth of 16 starters at Newcastle on January 15 over 4100m, 31 len behind Lewisham Grove with 73kg at $126. Needs to find best to be competitive here.
