Irish-raider COLONEL MUSTARD shaped very well when faring comfortably best of those who raced up with the pace when second in the Morebattle at Kelso and can go one better in another valuable Scottish handicap hurdle now. Rubaud and L'Eau du Sud, who was a place behind the selection in the Morebattle, head the dangers in a good renewal.
