Today's Racing Tips: Back Mali to grab the Kelso Cash

• Our tipster returns with a handicap pick for Sunday

• Magic Mali has bright prospects at Kelso

• Comeback run should benefit selection

Kelso, 12.20 - Back Malicash @ 4/15.00

The Bangor handicap turned into a rout by Lud'or last month has already produced one winner courtesy of a Sandown success for Go Dante and Malicash could make it a second success this weekend back at one of his favoured venues.

Donald McCain's six-year-old was not unbacked on his comeback as he attracted support at big prices, but he had no answer to a handicap good thing who has since gone on to run really well under his revised mark in a hot Newbury handicap.

In fairness to Malicash, the trip was probably on the short side at Bangor and he makes plenty of appeal stepping up in trip here and returned to a track where he ran out a game winner of a novice hurdle back in March.

His stable have made a bright start to the new season and have sent out eight winners in the last fortnight, including an impressive success for Lord at Aintree in the Listed Juvenile Hurdle.

Malicash may not be thrown in off 118, he was arguably unfortunate not to be dropped for his reappearance, but he ought to be highly competitive under conditions which suit.

Elsewhere on the card, I would have liked to put up Al Kalila in the novices' handicap chase, but unfortunately the Sean Bowen effect has kicked in with his price and he will have to run unbacked at his morning odds.
