14:10 Kelso Quel Elite £250 win 12/1

Wyse hill teabags is improving and deserves to be favourite for this, Won a weak race over 2m4 at Musselburgh last month, flattered by that form as the race was run at a false pace with nothing else getting into it besides the exposed Moon Indigo who was racing under a penalty, ran well here over today’s distance lto to finish 8 ¼ lengths back in 3rd. Should run a big race today but for me could do with further especially at a track like Kelso.
And the man is also improving, hacked up lto over 2m4 at Ayr, step back is not the natural progression for me, and I’m not convinced Kelso will suit his style.
Quel Elite caught the eye lto in a decent enough race over 2m3 at Catterick, The race was run at a good pace throughout and selection looked a little green, given an easy time on the run in but despite this ran on strongly in the towards the end, should settle for that run and shaped as if the step back would suit. With the predicted slow pace I’d like to see a change in tactics today with the selection up at the front under the useful Paddy Aspell. Trainer can land them at bigger odds and for me the selection who looks a fairly decent type was sandbagging lto and could be aimed at this race today.

Update:Wyse hill teabags won comfortably, Selection should have a race in him and after showing his true colours today I like to see him stepped up to 2m4f

Race comment: mid-division, pushed along and outpaced from 6th, kept on from 2 out, went 2nd towards finish, no chance with winner**2ND


15:50 Wolves Tornado force £400 win 9/2

Was impressed by the way he looked and travelled when winning over c+d lto, making all to beat some useful looking sorts. Has decent pedigree, is well suited to this distance and yard are in good form. A nice scopey sort looks every inch a stayer and still improving. The rest all have doubts for me, I’ll take this one lead from the front and win well today.

Update: Will keep an eye on this one, Should be more effective over further.

Race comment: tracked leader, ridden to lead 2f out, headed inside final furlong, kept on one pace**3RD
