Competitive in terms of numbers, but not so in terms of those with winning chances, and it will almost certainly pay to concentrate on the penalised pair REIVERS LAD and Applaus. The former carries a double penalty for those recent Kelso victories, but is rated 8lb superior to the Micky Hammond trained C&D winner on official ratings, so that's not too much of a concern. He looks a horse with a bright future for Nicky Richards, and despite encountering less testing conditions in this race, he's a confident selection to notch a three timer.
