As ever, I’ll skip the Flat coverage and concentrate on jumps at Kelso, my favourite course for a day out. I’ll update the profit & loss account on TV tips after racing.

1.50

All four contenders have run on heavy, but the only one with a 100% record – 2 from 2 – is Hills Of Dubai, and in a tight little contest, that’s enough to make him the selection.

Hills of Dubai 7/2

…………………………………..

2.25

Another difficult handicap…much has been lost on Gassin Golf, a horse with talent but one who’s spurned many opportunities to use it; he’s won just once over hurdles, although he’s run in some pretty hot ones. This is a long trek for him from Kerry Lee’s yard, almost 300 miles and I suspect that if he doesn’t win this, Kerry will leave him in the Kelso stables.

Gassin Golf  7/1

………………………………..

3.00

The highly consistent Lake View Lad gets the vote in this. He’s been running really well, has won 4 times on heavy and should get the trip.

Lake View Lad  8/1

……………………………………….

3.35

Lastbutnotleast reverts to hurdling after more than a year away from that discipline in which he was unbeaten. He’s also unbeaten on heavy ground and is the selection here.

Lastbutnotleast 6/1

I’ll be having £1 win on each with Betfair Sportsbook at the above prices and a £1 EW treble on the last three mentioned, as the first race has just 4 runners.  I advise you to do the same

Enjoy the racing and don’t bet more than you can afford to lose with a smile.

Post race update:  Loss on TV Tips to a £1 stake is now £31.32
