Jet Master got off the mark at Perth in September but looks to be taking on better opposition here and may be worth opposing under his penalty. Allow Me will surely strip fitter for his second at Kelso, however, while stablemate Civil Unrest ran well on his hurdles bow at the same track. Momkinzain and Toto Skyllachy both have decent form on the Flat but the former was readily brushed aside in a four-runner race at Hexham on his introduction to hurdling and we prefer GORDONSVILLE. Jim Goldie's charge is an eight-year-old now but has done little wrong in decent company on the level lately and likes this track. George Adamson, a four times Flat winner, looks best of the rest though may just need today's experience.
