11/4
Bounced back to best when registering third hurdle victory in 8-runner handicap at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) in April. Can go well fresh and must enter calculations.

4/1
Lightly-raced gelding who won his first 2 starts over timber last season and ended campaign with good third of 9 in juvenile at Hexham (16.2f, soft) in April. Likely more to come on switch to handicaps this term.

17/2
Made the most of a good opportunity to get off the mark in 9-runner maiden at Catterick (15.7f)) in February but couldn't build on that in 2 subsequent outings and doesn't look especially well treated on his handicap bow here.

10/3
Had a productive first season for Sandy Thomson, scoring twice (at up to 23.8f) and finding further improvement when second of 14 in handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (23.8f) in March. Had wind operation since and returns on a workable mark.

Resumed winning ways at Musselburgh (15.6f) in February and acquitted himself just as well in defeat thereafter, pulling clear of the remainder when second of 6 in handicap hurdle (9/4) at Perth (16.2f) in May. Shortlisted.

Chasing a course hat-trick after making all in a couple of handicaps (at up to 20.9f) last month. This looks tougher but he can't be ruled out.

Forecasts

Autumn Return (11/4), Faithfulflyer (10/3), Hidalgo De L'isle (7/2), Bois Guillbert (4/1), Scots Poet (11/2), Darkest Day (6/1), Chase A Fortune (17/2), Frightened Rabbit (40/1)

14:00 Kelso - 8 October 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Plenty with claims here including SCOTS POET, who looked unlucky not to score at Perth in May and has won after a break before. Bois Guillbert and Hidalgo de L'isle are feared most.
