disputed lead until led 12f out, ridden and ran on, comfortable
Irish challenger Al Kalila has been beaten at both Perth and Kelso while stablemate Ilitch has failed to figure in either start in Ireland. Compatriot Sea God cost £50,000 after landing a point-to-point while Tigga Time and Walk On Quest are others with form between the flags but MALICASH placed at Kelso on last month’s racecourse debut and may prove the one to side with given normal progress.
