Saturday's Kelso Horse Racing Betting Tips and Odds

13:15 - Cadell @ 7/2
14:25 - Nordic Tiger @ 8/1
15:00 - Walkadina @ 6/1

13:15 - Cadell @ 7/2

The presence of Mr Incredible means everything else in the race has less weight to carry and that can allow the Lucinda Russell-trained CADELL to get back to winning ways.

He jumped boldly and accurately when thumping his two rivals in a novice chase at Wetherby in November and has been set to tough tasks since in a Grade 2 on unfavoured soft ground and in the Edinburgh National at Musselburgh last month.

He won and came second to a subsequent Grade 2 winner in his two starts at the track over hurdles and, given his three defeats over fences have come on right-handed tracks, he may benefit from going this way round.

The handicapper has generously dropped him a combined 7lb for his latest two defeats and this unexposed sort should be able to capitalize now he has things in his favour. 

14:25 - Nordic Tiger @ 8/1

Harry Derham has his string in brilliant form, with a personal-best tally of 12 winners last month followed up with nine this month, having repaired his gallops that were devastated by Storm Bert in December.

He looks to have a great chance of continuing his fine spell with NORDIC TIGER, who progressed nicely in handicaps last season. He won three of his last four starts last season, latterly beating a next-time-out winner in a good-ground 2m4f handicap at Southwell in April.

The six-year-old has disappointed this season, but he was entitled to need his reappearance after 220 days off the track in November and he has solely run on soft ground since, despite being suited by a sounder surface.

He’s also been held up in his races, despite producing all his best runs when racing prominently and has now dropped to a rating just 1lb above his last winning mark.

Alice Stevens, who was on board for each of his wins, is back in the saddle claiming a valuable 3lb and this track should suit if Nordic Tiger returns to his old tactics.

15:00 - Walkadina @ 6/1

The Herring Queen Series Final Mares' Novices' Handicap Hurdle has gone to southern trainers for the last two years and David Pipe can continue that trend with WALKADINA.

She looked a serious prospect when toying with dual subsequent winner Sunset Marquesa before romping home by 13 lengths on her debut at Uttoxeter.

She ran a cracker from the front in a Listed contest at Newbury in November next time, leading before a mistake at the last checked her momentum, and that form looks solid, given the winner has since run well in a Grade 2 and the third won at Listed level next time.

Something was clearly amiss when well beaten at Wincanton on Boxing Day, as she was given wind surgery soon after and,giving 10lb to subsequent winner Bluey was probably a thankless task anyway.

She’ll step forward from her Ludlow prep last month and could prove a lot better than a mark of 118 now handicapping.
