Verdict

An ever popular race in the Borders, the 2018 renewal of the 'Scotty Brand' will no doubt be keenly contested, so few are hastily dismissed. Jet Master took what is fast becoming his race with ease at Newcastle last month and continues to perform consistently well for Team Alexander, whilst 2015 third Silver Tassie should again make the frame for Middleham-handler Micky Hammond. However, we'll take aim at the Dr Richard Newland-trained BAND OF BLOOD. He hasn't really had the chance to prove himself as a stronger horse post wind surgery, and although 5lb above his last winning mark, his mere presence at Kelso is noteworthy (trainer 2-7 here; 29% since 2004).
