The Punt Acca: Matt Rennie's three horse racing tips from Kelso on Monday

Three horses to include in a treble on Monday. . .


Your Own Story (3.30 Kelso)

The Lucinda Russell-trained eight-year-old brings the best form into the race and looks handicapped to go well. A solid performer last year, he was backed into favouritism for the Scottish Grand National and while he did not win, he ran with great credit to be beaten only 11 lengths into sixth. Multiple winners have emerged from that race and the winner, Kitty's Light, ran a stormer in the Grand National in fifth. He made a fine return from a 318-day absence when second at Newcastle last month and has been dropped 1lb for that.

Eloi Du Puy (4.00 Kelso)

The six-year-old has been terrific form this season and can put up another bold effort at this track. Trained by Nick Alexander, he has won four races this campaign and three of those have come over this course and distance. He's finished in the first three in six of his eight starts at the track and the soft ground will be in his favour again. A 4lb rise for him for his win last time should not stop him and Alexander is in flying form, with a 50 per cent strike-rate in the last fortnight. His jockey, Bruce Lynn, is operating at 40 per cent in that same period.

Atlantic Dancer (4.30 Kelso)

Alexander and Lynn could be in line for more success on the card with this 11-year-old in the 2m2f mares' handicap hurdle. The veteran thrives when the ground is testing, including when registering a career-best Racing Post Rating over this course and distance already this season. She did really well to only been beaten three and a half lengths in a good ground contest at Ayr and has less lively conditions to contend with. She goes off top weight, but Lynn's 3lb claim will be extra handy.
