Musselburgh hosts a decent card on Sunday and there has been some big money come for one of the horses in the Novice Handicap Hurdle.

The runner in question is Donald McCains Killane who was last seen in a much stronger affair at Ayr last time out, finishing 5th after being well supported into 2/1 favouritism.

Ardera Cross, who beat Killane by a head that day, has since gone on to score twice subsequently, thereby advertising the form.

Given Killane appeared outpaced over the 2 mile trip on that occasion also suggests this step back up in trip looks sure to suit.

He has been hammered in the betting, offered at 7/1 when markets opened yesterday evening, now sitting a 10/3 favourite for the event.
