Verdict
CULTRAM ABBEY has been narrowly beaten in two similar races at Kelso after scoring between the flags at Alnwick and will be very difficult to beat. Jimmy The Jetplane was racing at quite a high level under Rules in 2016 and led for a long way in an open point at Charing last month. Bambi Du Noyer has disappointed since arriving with strong form in France while the once promising Killer Crow was 8l behind the selection at Kelso three weeks ago.
