Kelso races tips, racecard, declarations and preview for the meeting live on ITV and Racing TV this Saturday, March 2

KELSO hosts a competitive day of action on Saturday, with the £60,000 Premier Chase the feature race.

We've all got all you need to know about the big meeting right here.

Race 1 - 1.40 Terry Frame Joiners Novices' Hurdle

German-bred OLEG is a fascinating recruit for top trainer Paul Nicholls.

He ran a race full of promise when second on hurdling debut in France and he has been found a good opening here.

Pogue is the clear main danger, with Not The Chablis next best.

VERDICT - 1. Oleg 2. Pogue 3. Not The Chablis

Race 2 - 2.15 Cyril Alexander Memorial Chase

The likeable TONTO'S SPIRIT arrives in cracking heart.

He pulled clear with a nice sort of Dan Skelton's last time and he could get a soft lead here.

El Terremoto needs to cut out the jumping errors but poses a threat, with Alizee De Janeiro the pick of the remainder.

VERDICT - 1. Tonto's Spirit 2. El Terremoto 3. Alizee De Janeiro

Race 3 - 2.45 Belhaven Brewery Premier Chase (Listed)

A final-fence mistake possibly cost BLACK CORTON victory in a hot race at Ascot.

He is a classy performer at his best and he is the one to beat for his in-form yard.

Grand National hero One For Arthur can go close if putting in a clear round, while Captain Redbeard won't be far away.

VERDICT - 1. Black Corton 2. One For Arthur 3. Captain Redbeard

Race 4 - 3.15 Edinburgh Gin Premier Kelso Novices' Hurdle (Grade 2)

GETAWAY TRUMP looked in need of a stiffer test when fourth in the Betfair Hurdle.

He is potentially a good deal better than his mark and he can land this en route to the Cheltenham Festival.

Rouge Vif and Windsor Avenue are afforded plenty of respect.

VERDICT - 1. Getaway Trump 2. Rouge Vif 3. Windsor Avenue

Race 5 - 3.55 Alan Clydesdale Memorial Chase

WESTERN RULES ran out a facile winner of a small-field event here last time.

He is fancied to follow up at the chief expense of Knockrobin, who has a had a wind op since his last run.

Grand Morning can edge out Claud And Goldie for third.

VERDICT - 1. Western Rules 2. Knockrobin 3. Grand Morning

Race 6 - 4.30 Johnston Smillie Handicap Chase

A chance is taken on bottom weight LEFT BACK.

Nick Alexander's seven-year-old was a faller at Ayr last time but looks sure to appreciate the drop back to 2m5f.

Orioninverness and Express Time are the main dangers.

VERDICT - 1.Left Back 2. Orioninverness 3. Express Time

Race 7 - 5.05 Kelsae Yorkie Handicap Hurdle

The progressive AYE RIGHT was just touched off over C&D last time out.

This is a less competitive contest and he can resume winning ways.

The in-form Jet Master should make a race of it, with Bialco booked for third.

VERDICT - 1. Aye Right 2. Jet Master 3. Bialco
