TODAY'S RACE CARDS AT KELSO

The Good conditions at the Scottish venue provided the setting for a 8-race card, with 57 horses declared across a varied and competitive programme. Early victories went to Kashchei (5.00) and the 1.83 shot Walk On Quest, setting the card in motion.

Attention then turned to the mid-card contests, with Jericoacoara scored at 4.00, Abbey Scope obliged at 4.00, Thorneylands prevailed at 3.00 and Singapore Trip took the honours at 4.00 among the successful returns.

To round off proceedings at the venue, there were further victories for Settle Down Jill (11.00) and Datstheholyallofit at 10.00. Favourites and near-market leaders dominated at Kelso, keeping the afternoon largely on-script and confirming the strength of the form on show.
