Kelso Race 1 - Ladies Day Novices' Hurdle (GBB Race)
CHEMISTRY (1) looks the one to beat after winning a 3381m GBB novice at Sedgefield two starts back before tackling a deep 3749m Chester handicap; back over hurdles and trip suits. LUNA GRACE (9) is a key chance with four straight 3rds in GBB novices, including at Musselburgh over 3499m by 10L. NOBOTHERATALL (4) mixes form but won a Carlisle GBB novice over 3450m in October and was 3rd here over 3265m last September. OSCO FLYER (8) showed something on debut when 5th of 14 at Killarney over 3419m and can improve.
