Lycetts Supporting Kelso Races Handicap Hurdle

Off time: 17:35 | Winning time: 5m 0.30s

Beeno^h¹⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 12-1| J: Danny McMenamin⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 131| BF

11/4

Likes to bowl along in front and has been putting those tactics to good use this summer, twice a winner at Cartmel and lost little in defeat last time. Might need more off this mark but looks sure to run his race all the same.

Form: 04-5112

One Night In Milan²⁹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 128| CD

2/1

Winner of three of last four, improving nicely over hurdles when last seen but that was last November and the suspicion is he might need the run. Progressive though, so chances if he is ready, and a look at the market should give a clue.

Form: 3411F1-

Morraman²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: Theo Gillard⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 125| D

7/1

Won a handicap at Wetherby in May but has found life harder from his revised mark after that, and he gave up too quickly for comfort at Southwell last time, finishing tailed off. Others make more appeal after that.

Form: 341-225

Ardera Cross^p¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 125| D

10/1

Found a new lease of life lately, rattling off a hat-trick in just over a month in the summer and was very game at Cartmel on latest start. Only 2lb higher here and this versatile type ought to be thereabouts again.

Form: 754111

Cairnshill^p1²⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Alison Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 118

12/1

Won a couple of good class handicap hurdles in the spring but form has taken a turn for the worse lately and connections now try some headgear after his tailed off effort at Market Rasen last time. Looks risky.

Form: 21-1248

Stop Talking¹⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-1| J: Henry Brooke| T: J Candlish| OR: 117| D

5/1

Possibly found the ground against her at Cartmel last time but had put in a solid effort in a Uttoxeter hurdle before that, form that gives her a decent chance here. Needs the rain to stay away but solid chance if it does.

Form: 1-83935

Kick On Dottie⁷⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: Ruth Jefferson| OR: 110

12/1

Won a couple of handicaps last year and has probably needed both her runs this season to get her fitter after an absence. Looks on a workable mark and despite a likely big price, isn't totally discounted.

Form: P/115-56

Ryedale Racer¹²²

Forecasts

One Night In Milan (2/1), Beeno (11/4), Stop Talking (5/1), Morraman (7/1), Ardera Cross (10/1), Ryedale Racer (10/1), Kick On Dottie (12/1), Cairnshill (12/1)

Some in-form sorts here, not least the front-running Beeno and the rejuvenated Ardera Cross, both of whom hold solid chances. One Night In Milan could easily turn out to be better than this grade but may need the run, and a chance is taken on STOP TALKING, for whom the ground went against her last time out and her earlier effort at Uttoxeter hinted her turn might not be far away.
