Winning pointer who showed more than on previous starts for this yard when fifth on recent handicap debut at Perth (20.2f, good to soft). 3 lb lower here but shapes as though a stiffer test would be ideal.

Back to winning ways from the front in 5-runner Musselburgh handicap (19.8f) in January, and went close over 3m there the following month. However, commensurate with his patchy profile, he has performed poorly the last twice.

Hasn't shown a great deal of spark since returning from a lengthy absence in November and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Fair form on the first of 2 starts in bumpers (both at this course) and has stepped up on maiden/novice form switched to handicaps the last twice, latterly third of 12 at Newcastle (20.3f, heavy). Down 2 lb and should have a part to play.

9/1
Exceeded expectations when runner-up on first start over hurdles at Tramore last summer. Best effort since joining this yard when third in a 12-runner Doncaster handicap (19.4f, good) in November (absent since/has undergone a wind op) and each-way chance if fully tuned-up.

Soundly beaten in 2 Irish bumpers for Philip Fenton and yet to make an impact for current yard.

Successful over fences at Sedgefield in winter 2021. Winless following 21 attempts in this sphere and while he returned to form when second of 7 in 19f Carlisle handicap hurdle last time, it remains to be seen if he'll be able to back that up.

Failed to kick on following a promising start in bumpers and showed little in trio of novice/maiden hurdles spread over 11 months. Failed to raise her game on handicap bow at Doncaster (reportedly broke a blood vessel) and she's hard to warm to.

Yet to show any worthwhile form, both between the flags and under Rules, and big step forward needed here now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces following a wind op.

Maiden hurdler who went close in a handicap hurdle at Catterick (25.3f, good to soft) following a 14-month absence last January. However, she was pulled up when returning from a similar spell of inactivity at Wetherby last month.

20/1
Veteran who hasn't tasted success since early 2021 and while his latest third of 10 at Catterick (19.3f, good) in February represented his best effort for a while, the percentage call is to look elsewhere in search of the likely winner.

First form when runner-up at Newcastle (20.3f, soft) in March but failed to build on that over the same C&D since and now tried in cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Eloi Du Puy (9/4), Jimmy Rabbitte (5/1), Prospect House (6/1), Wearelongterm (13/2), Game Beaaa (9/1), Balranald (11/1), Baby Jane (11/1), Farne Island (14/1), Red Missile (14/1), Snowed In (20/1), Out For The Count (25/1), Melvich Bay (66/1), Big Arthur (80/1)

16:00 Kelso - 10 May 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The vote goes to ELOI DU PUY, who has shown more encouraging signs since venturing down the handicap route and this 5-y-o has more going for him than most of these. Game Beaaa will be a threat under Brian Hughes if the recent wind op has had the desired effect and Balranald is third choice, despite some doubts as to whether he will build on his latest effort.
