Form & Verdict
Consistent mare who has made a good start for this yard and she made pretty much all at Perth (3m, soft) a month ago; hit with a 7lb rise for that but there could be a soft lead up for grabs here.

Has been in good form this season (for Ann Duffield) but in much lesser company; made all in wins at Perth and Kelso but most unlikely to be able to repeat that feat on stable debut.

Form & Verdict
Beat a bang-in-form chaser at Hexham in June (3m, good; handles softer) and this 8lb higher mark shouldn't be beyond him; all four wins have been at that track but he's finished runner-up on four of his six visits here, so wouldn't necessarily count that against him; stable runs two.

Five 3m wins, including last month at Ayr and on four occasions here; work to do to reverse Kelso Christmas form with Glittering Love and Morozov Cocktail, and indeed with the latter in this race last year.

Yet to win away from Hexham but bounced back from rare poor run when battling on for fourth at Kelso (3m2f, heavy) in December and ought to be better suited by today's quicker ground; probably won't be far away.

Runner-up off 1lb lower mark in this race last season (heavy); mainly decent efforts since but a rare poor run when pulled up in 4m chase at Hexham last time; not ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Has won over 3m at Ayr but his two wins here were shy of that distance and he's not a certain stayer over this far; ran okay the last time after two poor displays but others appeal more.

Regained the winning thread here (2m7f, good) this month, taking Kelso record to 3-9; back up the weights but remains well treated, having defied a 3lb higher mark in this contest 12 months ago; holds strong claims against rivals who aren't in peak form currently.

Form & Verdict
Progressive hurdler last season until outclassed in a Grade 2 at Haydock (3m, heavy) when 66-1; prior to that he won a 3m maiden on soft ground before finishing second on heavy at Wetherby (handicap); brings plenty of potential to his chase career; tongue-tie a first.

Won from the front at Ayr (3m, soft; beat Marown by 6.5l) in December to make it 3-9 over fences; couldn't lead when disappointing three months ago; if getting to the front he's not without hope of staying there.

Returned to form with front-running win at Ayr (3m, soft) in December and is now 3-9 over fences; should be fine on this right-handed track but latest 7lb rise demands more from him and he may not be allowed an uncontested lead this time.
