First autumn runners at Kelso tomorrow

Heavy ground at Kelso in the autumn!!

 After the summer break, our first runners appear at Kelso tomorrow.
That consistent mare Leith Walk is probably the more obvious of our duo of entrants in terms of a winning chance. She progressed well last season on soft ground and has run very well on heavy (form figures 21) in the past.
She runs well fresh, but on the downside she will be our first runner of the autumn and we'll know how far forward the string is after her race.

Callum comes in for the ride, his allowance now down to 5lb.

King Kalium has just sneaked into the closing 2m 7f handicap hurdle for conditional jockeys. Ryan Nichol has his first ride since taking out his conditional jockeys licence on the gelding.
We've been quietly pleased with King Kalium this season at home, although he has to put up 10lb more than his long handicap mark to compete here.
King Kalium will be going chasing this season, but he'll gain more experience under his belt in a couple of hurdle races meantime.

Good luck to our owners, and enjoy the day!!
