A race which will warm the hearts of the Kelso regulars, with a number of admirable course specialists in the line up. However, finding the winner isn't the easiest of assignments with a pickle of both hurdling and chasing form to negotiate. Seldom Inn heads the weights, and with the blinkers applied seeks to further enhance a stunning course record, but his veteran stablemate ROWDY ROCHER could be worth chancing at decent odds. His recent form isn't overly encouraging, and there is the possibility that he's no longer able to compete at this level given his advancing years, but on the plus side, his handicap mark is now workable, and his last three successes have come during the month of January. Proven at this track, he'll relish the underfoot conditions. Catchamat is another runner of a similar ilk, if you prefer to take a chance at small stakes on a younger rival.
