Kelso 6:55 Result

Cape Warrior is the only runner with proven bumper form, showing a solid 22- record (two placed efforts) for a strong Micky Hammond yard that knows how to place these types. Sean Bowen taking the ride for what looks a leading stable runner is a good sign of stable confidence. Going On is by Patrick Neville with no form but Brian Hughes booked suggests a fancied newcomer, however unraced types in NH Flats are unpredictable and hard to trust blind. Arc Kunoichi has a solitary run finishing 5th, not blowing anyone away, but she is lightly raced and the form could improve with experience - not enough evidence though. The rest (Lady Scarphia, Roohu) are unraced with no other data points to lean on beyond pedigree, making them the biggest risks in a small but competitive field. Cape Warrior's proven placed form at this level, allied to a in-form yard, gives the most tangible evidence of ability and gives a clear edge over the unexposed types who are hard to assess. Going On looks the market threat given the letters (Hughes/Neville) but with truly no page of form he's harder to trust than the horse with the bumper placed efforts already on the board.
