Kelso 14:10 Odds Comparison

Progressive mare who probably should have won all 3 of her starts since chasing home now-smart Casheldale Lad at Punchestown in May, jumping well when successful at Market Rasen last time. This big-field scenario should play to her strengths now handicapping and she's a big player.

Won sole start in Irish points in October and has taken steps in the right direction with each of her 3 starts since switched to hurdles, pulling clear of the rest when second in a 13-runner Wincanton novice 16 days ago. Likely to be on the premises now venturing down the handicap route.

Fair form in bumpers and, having undergone a breathing operation following a low-key hurdles debut last February, she has found just one too good all 3 starts this season. Sketchy jump at the final flight proved costly on handicap debut at Ludlow last time and she's one to be interested in.

Made the frame both starts in bumpers and off the mark at the third attempt in this sphere when proving 3½ lengths too strong for Yeld To Call at Taunton, with Queenie St Clair, who also renewals rivalry here, back in third. Opening mark looks fair and she needs considering.

Irish point winner who was a given a considerate return from a 2-month break (in a first-time tongue strap) when fifth at Huntingdon in December. Stepped up on that when chasing home a progressive type in a Ludlow novice and she may well have more to offer now pitched into a handicap.

Bumper winner who was in the process of showing improved form when falling at the final flight on handicap debut at Wincanton in December. Further progress when easily landing a Catterick mares' novice recently and she's not without each-way hope returned to handicap company.

Fair form in bumpers and bettered previous efforts in this sphere when splitting Beauty In The Park and Queenie St Clair at Taunton. Now 6 lb better off with the winner for a 3½-length beating and she's a plausible each-way candidate for this handicap debut.

Made it third time lucky in bumpers last spring and produced best effort yet in this sphere when runner-up in a Catterick novice at the end of December. Absent since (breathing operation in the interim) but it's entirely possible that she'll be seen in a better light now handicapping.

Winner of 2 of her 4 starts for present yard, barely breaking sweat when sauntering home by 17 lengths at Fontwell in February. Race probably came too soon when disappointing under a penalty at Newbury 6 days later but the potential stumbling block here is that her new mark has now kicked in.

Irish bumper winner who bagged maiden/novice hurdles at Warwick and Cartmel last spring. Now 8 lb lower in the weights than when making her handicap debut in December but with good reason (struggled all 3 completed starts in handicaps) and yard saddles a more appealing candidate in First Candidate.

Fairly useful on the Flat and won at second attempt in this sphere in a Hexham novice. Improved second in Carlisle handicap (first run in handicap company over hurdles) but another forward step is needed, now 3 lb higher in a significantly stronger race.

Free-going sort who got off the mark in 5-runner novice at Wetherby on return in November. Wasn't in the same form at Windsor next time and, though far from disgraced in a Kempton Grade 2 on his latest start, some of the others could be better treated.

Runner-up both starts in Irish points and has made the frame on 3 of her 4 starts under Rules, most recently finishing second in a 4-runner affair on handicap bow at Exeter last month. Ought to pick up a race before long but there are more appealing options on this occasion.

Arguably fortunate to win 4-runner maiden at Sedgefield on penultimate start, albeit she was still travelling well when the favourite departed 3 out. However, her subsequent handicap debut display at Carlisle was uninspiring.

Bumper winner who was second on first 2 runs over hurdles before failing to land the odds in a mares' maiden at Hereford where she was too keen for her own good. Remains one to view in a positive light but improvement will be needed now tackling a handicap for the first time.
