Sunday’s Horse Racing Tips: Kelso, October 8th

Today’s Horse Racing Tips – October 8th
There are just two meetings in Britain and Ireland on an unusually quiet Sunday, with jump racing dominating for the first time this autumn. NH fans have interesting cards at Kelso and Uttoxeter to study, with the action getting underway at 2.00pm at the Scottish venue. Softening conditions are expected at both tracks, with some welcome rain over the past week particularly in Scotland.

Today’s Daily Nap
Autumn Return
Kelso 2:00 (UK time)
Ruth Jefferson’s progressive performer has won 3 if his 7 career starts, ending last season with a cracking win over 2m4f at Perth under a confident ride. He drops back to 2m for this seasonal reappearance under top-weight, but has a decent turn of foot and the booking of Brian Hughes suggest he will be fully fit after six months off the track.
Odds: NA
Today’s Value Angle
Donny Boy
Kelso 3:00 (UK time)
Nick Alexander’s unexposed handicapper promised more than he delivered in a frustrating campaign last time around, but he is now very well treated on the pick of his form and should relish these easing ground conditions under Lorcan Williams. He has plenty of scope and potential over fences after just two career starts, and his bumper win (and excellent second over hurdles) both came at this venue.
Odds: NA
Odds are best odds available as at 2am October 8th 2023. Odds may now differ.
