This won’t take much winning but Redkalani is still 4lb higher than for his only victory and hasn’t raced since June. Diego Suarez is 0-17 but was placed over a shorter trip here last month. OSCAR’S PROSPECT makes his handicap debut after just the two runs over hurdles. He was no match for the odds-on Kelka last time at Kelso but looks to be on an upward curve and can make it third-time lucky. Toarmandowithlove has had plenty of chances but has place claims on her best form.
