    Kelso has a pretty long run in from the last- not sure if it’s the longest though.

    God’s own Cartmel can’t be too far from the top of the list.

    Yes, I’m pretty sure it’s Cartmel.

    Kelso’s hurdle run-in is two furlongs. Looking at Google Earth I reckon Cartmel’s run-in is around a furlong and a half. On that basis Kelso has the longest run-in over hurdles. It certainly does if there’s a low sun since it then becomes about five furlongs!
