Itstooearly has form in the book good enough to land the 5.00 Kelso and makes plenty of each-way appeal at 11/1.
James Moffat's mare has failed to shine in her latest two starts, but her second to Andron in a handicap hurdle at Sedgefield back in May looks extremely strong in the context of this contest if she can bounce back.
The 8-year-old stayed on really well that day to be beaten just 1 1/2 lengths over 2m 1f, and today's extra furlong should be right up her street.
She had some decent yardsticks behind her, and although clearly no world beater this is an extremely weak contest which represents a golden opportunity for her to break her duck under both codes.
Her run at Sedgfield came off a mark of 83 and she is allowed to race of that again today. Given that she has been placed of marks in the 90s in the past she is undoubtedly pretty well treated and weighted to take the beating.
It's obviously a concern that she has failed to score in 29 starts unde rules, but this is a race which severly lacks strength in depth and I find it impossible to see her not being in the frame at the very least.
Therfore at 11/1 she has looks tremednous each-way value.
Recommended bet: 2pts each-way Itstooearly (11/1 Victor chandler - BOG, Sky Bet)
