TIME TO TAKE MICKY

MAGNOLIA (3.25) looks set to blossom for Micky Hammond on Autumn Raceday 2025 at Kelso.

- GARRY OWEN

The hurdler showed two miles was her trip when caning Heart Above over track and trip last month.

The six-year-old won with total authority so can defy a 2lb hike in a similar handicap.

The ultra shrewd handler should add the handicap chase to his tally with TRAC (2.55).

The gelding relished 2m If when pipped by Ballyfort on his return here last month.

The eight-year-old will be primed so can turn the tables on his foe at these weights.

BE THE DIFFERENCE (12.55) stands to prevail in the conditionals’ hurdle.
