Tickanrun was placed at Kelso off a higher mark when last in action but PSYCHOCANDY has the more recent form. The latter was third at Uttoxeter last month and Ian Williams’ mare can make another bold bid in this modest company. Spoils Of War has failed to build on an earlier second at Perth and Final Fling remains 5lb higher than when scoring at Hexham in August. Broadway Belle was still beaten a long way when runner-up at Fakenham and Diamant de L'Ouest is worth a second glance now handicapping for the first time.
