Kelso Race 2 - Borders Carers Centre Novices' Hurdle (Gbb Race)
HOE JOLY SMOKE (2) Led from start to finish when winning by a margin of 1 3/4L last start in a hurdle at Bangor and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Capable of a strong showing and is a top chance. HANDMEDOWNASTAR (1) Couldn't maintain the pace when 5th last run in a hurdle at Cartmel. Overlooking the last run and putting a tidy record together so far. Suited by the weight drop. Winning chance. HOPELESS DANCER (3) Resuming after a break of 41 weeks. Right up there last time in a hurdle at Ludlow and going over more ground. Racing for a new trainer.

Jumped at $2.50 and weakened to finish 5th last run in a hurdle at Cartmel. Overlooking the last run and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Nice enough type to be supported.
