Kelso, Lingfield and Wolverhampton

three very moderate meetings today, with the best racing coming from Kelso. Jim Goldie always does well at the Scottish tracks and can take the novice hurdle at 15.10 CET with the weirdly-named Wyse Hill Teabags (Campbell Gillies), third in a much better race over this CD last time, and also has a chance with Pokfulham (Graham Lee), who has top weight in the handicap hurdle an hour later. The handicap chase at 16.40 looks wide open with all 10 runners holding a chance, but we shall try again with German-bred Quicuyo (James Ewart/ Harry Haynes). He ran really badly last time, and is in any case much less consistent than his brother Quijano, but is certainly capable of scoring in this company if in the right mood.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Wyse Hill Teabags - And The Man - Rathnaroughy
2. Race: Blackpool Billy - Rossini`S Dancer - Border Reiver
3. Race: County Colours - Pokfulham - Latin Connection
4. Race: Raysrock - Tartan Snow - Quicuyo
5. Race: Leith Walk - Everaard - Catleen
6. Race: Robbers Glen - Quotica De Poyans - Abragante
7. Race: Roger Beantown - Dome Run - Harvey`S Hope




The card at Lingfield is very low grade and winning form is hard to find. For this reason we make Present a Star (Sarah Humphrey/ Colin Bolger) is our best bet here in the 3emiles handicap chase at 17.30. This ex-Irish point-to-pointer was an easy winner on his first start for his new trainer a week ago in Plumpton and should be able to defy his 7 lbs penalty under bottom weight in this poor event.

Betting forecast:
1. Race: Archie Rice - The Strawberry One - Spirit D`Armor
2. Race: Hildisvini - Junior Jack - Not Til Monday
3. Race: Goring One - Whatcanisay - Karasakal
4. Race: Mut`Ab - Stravita - Low Delta
5. Race: Present A Star - Duke Of Ormond - Ginolad
6. Race: Won More Night - Original Prankster - Ballyveeney
7. Race: Cape Breton - Mike Towey - Jackstown




Another German-bred who has become very inconsistent is Aviso (David Evans/ Cathy Gannon) who runs in the opening 6 furlongs handicap on the all-weather at Wolverhampton at 15.20. It is depressing that this one-time classic winner (Mehl-Mülhens-Rennen, 2009) is now running off a mark of 60. He is trying this trip for the first time and may be worth a small each-way bet. Another old friend racing here off 60 is 14yo The Tatling (Milton Bradley/ Robert Kingscote) in the 5 furlongs handicap at 18.20. He is chasing his 17th win, and possibly the last as he could be retired when he finally achieves it, and clearly has an each-way chance here.
