Horse of the Day

Geronimo tackles the 2m 6f trip over the Kelso hurdles, and looks a strong favourite against a field of modest quality on Monday.

He has already placed in all three of his starts over hurdles and only just pipped to the post on his last outing, he looks to have plenty of improvement still to come. That close 2nd at Carlisle saw him reeled in over the last few yards, so a drop down by a couple of furlongs should suit well.

He is raised 3lbs for that run, but that should be well within his range and shouldn't be too much of an inconvenience.

Trainer Sandy Thomson is a hurdle specialist, and is 30 from 211 over the past five years for a 126pt profit. He's won 5 of his 49 runs at this venue on the hurdles, and placed 16 times for a win profit of 47.5pts

1pt Geronimo to win the 2:40pm at Kelso at 5/2
