1:00 Kelso Tips

Hollygrove Cha Cha, this looks like a great chance for this mare to add another victory to her CV here. This horse won easy last time out, beating a very good horse in Jubilee Alpha (rated 139) home by 4 lengths. This race looks easier than her last outing, so I expect another length job for this horse. I expected this horse to be much shorter than 13/8 tbh. 3pt win.

World of Fortunes is a confirmed stayer and will not mind faster going at Kelso, which cannot be said for the favourite Hollygrove Cha Cha. She won well at Doncaster a year ago in a three-mile Listed Hurdle, and her only win since was a handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe in September.

Harry Fry doesn't send many to Kelso, so the fact that Star Walking makes the long journey north must be a clue to his chances. I think he looks one of the strongest stayers in the field, and he has plenty of potential to improve on what he's achieved so far. He's been lightly campaigned, presumably with a view to avoid the worst of the winter ground and to make hay under spring conditions.

7yo irish mare Tankardstown Diva is improving rapidly at the moment. She has won 4, was runner-up in 2 and had 1 faller in her last 7 races. Goes well over todays distance and on ground conditions and holds every chance to be in the mix again.
