Verdict

Ashleybank House is likely to be at short odds for the concluding event on the Kelso card and gets the vote to complete a hat trick at the main expense of the other previous winners Only One Matty and Corbie Lynn. Only One Matty has two handicap successes at Musselburgh to his name but this looks tougher under his penalties. He still makes more appeal than Corbie Lynn, who won of a mark at 90 here last time and has a lot to do on official BHB ratings. Peter Beaumont's bumper winner Flight Command has shown enough in three starts over hurdles to suggest that he can play a part in the finish but it will take a good performance to get the better of Ashleybank House. Len Lungo's gelding was impressive when landing a handicap at Ayr in January and, with further improvement to come, he gets the nod.
