Pallas Lord back on the turf at Redcar

Redcar 7th April : 2.57 pm 7f 0-70 Handicap (Class 4)

Outings on the turf for our All Weather hero are as rare as hens' teeth but Pallas Lord is a course & distance winner at Redcar where he makes an appearance with Jason Hart in the saddle.

In fact on closer inspection, Pallas Lord actually won this race 3 years ago, off a 4lb lower mark. He's been in fine form in recent weeks at Newcastle.
So.......

Good luck, lads.

Two runners nearer home at Kelso's jumps card

Kelso 7th April : 2.15 pm 2m 6½f 0-115 Handicap Hurdle (Class 4)

It's been a dry couple of weeks which has fairly restricted runners from our yard, and it's not really to our advantage at Kelso tomorrow (good ground).

Still, we're giving Shoeshine Boy a run.
He's back to his last winning mark (OR106). This is also his highest ever winning handicap mark and on ground a bit livelier than he would prefer, he faces a stiff task against 9 opponents.

Diamond Dealer seems to reserve his best runs for a sound surface and may come out on top here.

We hope Mouse Young and his fellow local owners enjoy the day and Murray Dodd again claims 7.

Kelso 7th April : 4.45 pm 2m NH Flat Race (Class 5)

The concluding bumper, sees the racecourse debut of Ellistrin Bay, a 6yr-old son of Clovis du Berlais.

Henry Brooke comes in for the ride and best of luck to owner/breeders Ron & Eileen.

Lucinda's Irish Point runner-up The Hatchet sets a fair standard to aim at, and he is expected to improve upon his opening bumper run when 4th at Ayr. Scobie's Port Station is unraced but comes from a family of bumper winners, and he could be interesting in this small field of 6.
