Bank = £4,325
Not a lot going on today but will be playing these two at big odds.
Kelso 14:30 Cassius £150 e/w 16/1
Needs g/s ground which he gets today. Hasn’t won since Dec 09, but does go well round here having placed 4 times and winning once from 9 starts. Was found out in last 6 starts since winning here (down to a combination of the wrong going and getting outclassed). Back down to a more realistic mark today and useful Jockey is a bonus.
Race comment:held up in rear, headway 4 out, effort next, never on terms**6TH
Kelso 16:00 Northern Acres £75 e/w 66/1
Has shown hints of ability since switching to hurdles, Notably last time out round here travelled and jumped well enough eventually getting outpaced by some fairly decent sorts, eased down on the run in once Jockey knew he was beaten, should come on for that and extra furlong today should suit. Stable jockey back on board, trainer does like to aim them here and has landed a few at bigger odds.
Race comment:mid-division, weakened before 3 out**11TH
Bank = £3,875

14:20 Kempton Pink Symphony £400 win 9/2
I expect the likes of Bikini babe and Shamali set a fairly decent pace setting things up for Penitent,Cumulus Nimbus and also Pink Symphony who I’m going to side with.
Enjoyed a good campaign last summer and looks the type to train on, Showed good spirit over this distance last September in a career best effort against some useful types, the race was run in a decent time and I liked her attitude battling gamely, getting beaten a short head by the odds favourite. I think she’ll handle the sharp nature of this track better then her rivals. Goes well fresh and is well regarded by the trainer.
Race comment:tracked leading pair, pushed along over 3f out, ridden and swithed left over 1f out, not pace to challenge**3RD
16:40 Uttox China Gold £400 win 7/2
Improving and caught the eye when finishing second over 2m4 at Doncaster after a long layoff made up good ground after getting outpaced early on. Put in another good effort lto over the same trip at Sandown finding one two good again, Crying out for a longer trip which he gets today, should be capable of a big run in this company.
Race comment: held up in touch towards rear, headway approaching 7th, chased winner well before 3 out, not fluent 2 out, no impression last**2ND
Bank = £4,325

Bank = £4,875
I'll have to keep these brief as again I'm very short on time today.
Will try to update all results later.
15:20 Muss northern dare £250 win 12/1
Race comment:towards rear, ridden halfway, ran on inside final furlong, never nearer**5TH
15:50 Muss Good Boy Jackson £250 win 13/2
Race comment:slowly into stride, raced wide throughout, always towards rear**LAST
16:00 New Lewlour supreme £250 win 7/1
Yet to see the best of this one, travelled and jumped really well when well backed lto over 2 miles at Ayr.
This trip more suited and should appreciate the quicker conditions today.
Good to see James Reveley on board and I expect a big run today.
Race comment:held up in rear, headway before 4 out, ridden and upsides winner last when not fluent, not quickened final 50 yards**2ND
15:40 Stratford Tatispout £300 win 3/1
Well balanced filly form the in form Longston yard. Going the right way over hurdles, Put in a good
effort lto over c+d on handicap debut losing by a short head to the improving Remember now.
Bang in form and 2m looks to be her trip, has an excellent chance off today’s mark.
Race comment:held up in rear, took keen hold, headway approaching 6th, ridden after 3 out, weakened before 2 out**4TH
17:30 New Bear dancing £400 win 9/4
Consistent sort, who has impressed in point to points, (winning two),
Showed he can cope well with the stiff fences when jumping well, especially when asked towards the end over c+d lto showed a good attitude that day just missing out by a head. Looked a little distracted
at times, and the first time headgear as well as the bigger field should help with his focus today.
In form trainer looks to have found him an excellent chance in this weak field
Race comment:in touch, badly hampered 4th and soon pushed along towards rear, headway 13th, ridden in 4th before 4 out, went 2nd 2 out, led before last, drew clear flat, kept on well towards finish**WON
