Verdict
Malystic beat Saint Segal at Doncaster last season and probably needed the run at Kelso. Boothill won this 12 months ago and was successful over course and distance again three weeks ago, beating Saint Segal, FRERE D’ARMES and Funambule Sivola. But Dan Skelton’s charge travelled best that day before blowing up on the run to the last and may well come out on top this time with the winner having been raised 6lb. Aucunrisque still has scope over fences and Corrigeen Rock and Triple Trade are already winners this autumn, though the latter is carrying a penalty.
