The Evening Punt: James Stevens' free horse racing tip at Kelso on Wednesday

BANKER

Tearaway Tilly (7.00 Kelso)

Mark Walford has not had a winner for a while but he has had two close seconds to suggest a change of luck is around the corner. His runner here showed she was more than capable of landing a bumper with a good third on debut at Stratford and that could be the strongest piece of form in this pretty open contest. She was beaten by two horses who have smart relatives, while she kept on well in her own right to beat the more experienced Div Ine Tara. She was strong in the betting beforehand and it was a promising effort which she can improve upon. The four-year-old also has an interesting pedigree, being out of a mare, Hopeand, who won a few low-level chases but looked useful in her bumper days. Nicky Henderson even let her contest the mares' bumper at the Grand National meeting, albeit she was far from good enough. Tearaway Tilly is an improver and this looks a fine opportunity.
