Verdict
Lock Down Luke has recorded both wins over hurdles so far at Kelso but LUCKY LOVER BOY (NAP) has now won four of his last six starts. The latter’s latest success came in a conditionals’ race over track and trip and he escapes a penalty in this. Rory And Me’s earlier win came in maiden company but Genever Dragon went close again last time having won at Kelso in September. Limerick Leader placed at Wetherby last time but Jet Legs is less exposed.
