1pm Kelso Fourth Of July win
Tricky test here in a competitive looking heat.
But great chance to follow up on course and distance win.
Upped 14 pounds but still below hurdle high mark and wide margin win here gives scope for further improvement.
Stanhope. Each way

Chance here off tumbling mark reduced in the winter through regular workouts at dundalk.
Win here in July off much higher and placed here again soon after.
Low draw and very good jockey with claim rides

Racecourse debut for
£540,000 Jonbon for JP MacManus
Short priced favourite will be interesting to see how he goes. So watching brief for him.
He’d certainly want further as a winning pointer but could be well ahead of this field. My two could represent some each way value as an unraced flat horse ex john Gosden and a winning bumper horse unpenalized ridden by Richard Johnson.
