Traprain Law has won twice at Kelso this season but was no match for GINGER MAIL (NAP) here in the autumn and is only a pound better off today. Cave Court should be the best of Noel Kelly’s two raiders but Maimie's Magic looks a bigger danger to the selection. She completed a quick-fire double at Kelso and Newcastle around the turn of the year, though does seem to need a testing surface. Kilbrainy looks the pick of the remainder.
