A general view of riders during the William Hill Leading Racecourse Bookmaker Novices' Hurdle at Kelso Racecourse set to be behind closed doors due to the coronavirus.

THE CHURCHILL LAD (2.50, nap) is fancied to follow up a last-time-out victory at Haydock Park by lifting the Kelso Betting Ring Bookmakers Handicap Hurdle in the Scottish Borders on Sunday.

Rebecca Menzies’ son of Churchill recorded impressive wins in juvenile events at Cartmel and Catterick last season.

And with Ross Chapman on board, he beat Goobinator by four and a half lengths two days before Christmas at the Merseyside track and a 5lb rise in the weights for that performance could have been worse.

It could be the right time for HOLD THE PRESS (4.00, nb) in the Best Racing Odds Guaranteed at BetMGM Handicap at Lingfield Park.

Kelso Racecourse, where Newsboy's nap selection for Sunday, January 14 - The Churchill Lad - runs in the 2.50

The John Jenkins-trained five year old has a win and good second to show from his last two outings over this course and distance and he is taken to get his head back in front.
