Verdict

An intriguing race in which you'd be reluctant to definitively rule out any of the five runners. However, Kelso is often all about rhythm so that is likely to present some issues for Beggar's Wishes. Both Rock On Fruity and Eureu Du Boulay are steadily climbing the weights whilst Mount Mews (3-3 at Kelso) debuts for Donald McCain. However, despite public comment from owner David Armstrong about a rapidly rising handicap mark, the assessor was left with little option but to take evasive action with regards DIMPLE. This upwardly mobile 8yo steps up in grade as a result but with conditions forecast ideal, he can boss this race from the outset.
  1. Dimple
  2. Eureu Du Boulay
  3. Mount Mews
