Benny's Secret thrives at Kelso, with all four of his previous wins over hurdles coming at this Borders track. Pulling well clear of the remainder, including today's rival Sunny Destination, he edged out Uptown Harry by a neck over C&D latest. A subsequent 7lb rise in the weights looks fair, and he's impossible to keep out of the frame. However, we'll seek an each-way alternative with the potentially well-treated Irish raider VIKING HOARD who should strip fitter for a recent run over an inadequate two-miles at Wetherby.
