"...produced a better effort when filling the same position in a competitive event at Ayr..."
Timeform's Tony McFadden highlights a Nap and Next Best selection at Kelso on Sunday.
NAP
Kelso - 15:35 - Bythesametoken
Bythesametoken was inconsistent over fences in Ireland last season, but he shaped as if back in form when runner-up at Wexford on his return to hurdling in March and he produced a better effort when filling the same position in a competitive event at Ayr last month.
Bythesametoken shaped really well at Ayr, running on strongly after the last, and he still looks fairly treated after edging up a couple of pounds.
NEXT BEST
Kelso - 16:05 - Rae des Champs
Rae des Champs failed to land a telling blow when upped in trip to around three miles at Newcastle last time but she wasn't seen to best effect in that steadily-run contest and is worth another chance over a staying distance.
She had been shaping as if she would improve for a step up in trip and the way she kept on last time from an unfavourable position reinforced the view there is more to come granted a stamina test.
