5:00 Kelso Tips

Twice an Irish point winner who, after finishing 2nd on his UK point debut, has won all of his last four point races. Holds every chance if bringing that form into his chasing debut.

Finished 3rd in this race last year and arrives having won a point-to-point race last month. If continuing in the same form, will have an each-way chance.

A heavy favourite in this race, Boley Bob will surely take the win, which then leaves two places for higher-odds horses to get a place. I think this horse is worth a shout to scrap a place at these odds.

High On The Hill is a horse that has consistently demonstrated its competitiveness in chase trials, consistently finishing near the finish line at longer distances (3 miles). Its most recent performance shows it maintains the necessary fitness to complete the course, even when competing against horses that have recently shown dominance in the field (such as Boley Bob). It finished 2nd of 6 in a point-to-point race at Tranwell, 4 lengths behind the winner (Boley Bob), covering a distance of approximately 3 miles (24 ft). Today's race is 2m 7f 96y (approximately 3 miles). High On The Hill has shown the ability to maintain this distance, which is a positive sign given that it is a long-distance race where endurance is often prioritized over top speed.
