In depth
Verdict
A modest Hunters' Chase where Nisbet stands out from the quartet on the bits of form that brings them together. The 10-year-old has the edge using his recent second at Perth and he is expected to confirm the form with Go Nomadic, who still has a little to find with the selection on these terms. So too does Indien Du Boulay, who will need to brush up on his jumping if he is to figure. While Starbuck appears to have a mountain to climb after being easily brushed aside when he has been tried at this sort of trip in the past. Therefore, it is very hard to see past Nisbet to round off the day with a winner at Kelso; even though he will have to play up considerably beforehand not to be priced up accordingly as the favourite in a poor race.
