Additionally on the cardboard Dom gave Artic Row a throughly completed experience to complete third, a really stable begin to his profession as a conditional; Society Soldier was a bit stunned by the early tempo on her guidelines debut however stayed on properly to be fifth, simply behind her in seventh was Lance les Des who gave away lots of floor by leaping clumsily.  Ballyfort was a bit bit free early on and because of this drained from the 2nd final hurdle.  On to Ayr tomorrow the place the bottom needs to be good to mushy or might ease additional with in a single day rain forecast, we have now six declared runners and Bruce rides all of them, he can declare 3lb for another day!

Elvis has given us so many fantastic days over the 7 years that we have now been fortunate sufficient to have him within the yard; he made his debut as a 3yo in November 2017 and after yesterday will transfer to a profession excessive handicap mark on the age of 10.  He was Lucy’s final winner as a jockey at Ayr in November 2020 and has received six occasions at Kelso the place the gang have come to like him – it will have been eight had it not for being runner up twice to a sure Stainsby Woman.  We had good trigger to rejoice final evening and did so with a bottle of Waitrose’s wonderful Blanc de Noirs home champagne swiftly adopted by a really superb Barolo – completely satisfied days!

On a regular basis Champagne is first up within the 12.47, he had an excellent excuse final time and will run nicely having received on the monitor this time final 12 months although he prefers respectable floor so wouldn’t need an excessive amount of rain – 6 run.

Scarlet Jet makes his secure debut within the 1.17; he’s a beautiful horse who was inexperienced when he received his level to level in Might.  He’s shaping up as if he will likely be higher over additional in time however this is a perfect race to begin him off over hurdles – 8 run.

Not in Kansas was in nice type within the spring profitable each begins and he or she runs within the 1.47.  She steps up in journey tomorrow which shouldn’t be an issue and is able to additional progress, she’s a bit heavier than she was within the spring so will definitely enhance for the run – 11 run.

Anamanda additionally steps up in journey within the 2.20, she didn’t translate her good flat type to hurdles final season however appears in a a lot better place this time spherical and the additional distance ought to assist as nicely, she appears match and received’t thoughts in a single day rain so I’d hope she would run very nicely if she will be able to get right into a rhythm early on over her hurdles –  14 run.

Beat the Retreat is our consultant within the second division of the center distance handicap hurdle at 2.55, he received on the monitor in December however was a bit out and in after that, we hope a second wind operation may have made a distinction.  He has had a lot  of labor however continues to be a bit heavy and the favorite on this race seems to be to have been given a really lenient handicap mark – 13 run.

Travail d’Orfevre was a mannequin of consistency final season and while we’re planning to go up in journey with him this season he’s truly dropping again tomorrow.  That shouldn’t hassle him, particularly if the rain arrives. so he can hopefully give an excellent account – 7 run.
