Kelso

€32,000 3-y-o, second foal: dam (h126) bumper/19f hurdle winner. Pulled up sole start in Irish points (Apr 2023).

Won completed start in Irish points and shaped with promise in a Catterick bumper/maiden hurdle last season. Weakened tamely at Bangor in May and since had a breathing op.

Reliable Man gelding. Dam (c114/h127), 17f-21f hurdles/chase winner in France, half-sister to French 17f/2¼m hurdles/chase winner Rombaldi. No impact in a Punchestown bumper for Gordon Elliott in April 2023. Runner-up on second of 2 starts in points this year.

Best bumper effort when third of 9 at Carlisle in February 2023 but off the track since.

Runner-up in a point bumper and shaped with some encouragement when fifth in a bumper at Cheltenham in October. Showed enough in a brace of hurdles outings to make him of some interest on stable debut (has left Georgina Nicholls).

Fairly useful on Flat and translated that ability to hurdles at the first time of asking when scoring by 19 lengths at Down Royal at the end of August. Runner-up at Warwick 12 days ago and, fitted with a hood, she's very much the one to beat.

Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Aliomaana (winner around 2m). Dam sister to fairly useful hurdler (stayed 2¾m) Celestial Force. Fair handicapper on Flat, stays 2¼m, ran up to best from 6 lb out of weights last time. Bred to take to this sphere.

£62,000 4-y-o, half-brother to 3 winners, including French 15f hurdle winner Get Me Five and bumper winner Modreeney. Dam, maiden on Flat (stayed 1m), half-sister to ungenuine but fairly useful hurdler/fair chaser (stayed 3m) William Hogarth. Runner-up sole start in Irish points (Apr 28).

Half-brother to useful hurdler Scarlet Dragon (winner around 2m). Fairly useful form on Flat (stays 11f) for Tom Clover, much improved when runner-up in novice event last time. Hurdles debut.

£20,000 4-y-o, fourth foal, dam unraced half-sister to useful hurdler/very smart chaser (stayed 23f) Devils Bride. Runner-up completed start in Irish points (Apr 20).
