Clinical Bass makes the trip to Scotland for sole ride pay with Dandy Dan

David Bass enhanced his strike-rate at the borders venue to three wins from just eight rides when landing the feature handicap chase on Kim Bailey's Dandy Dan, his only mount of the day.

The 6-5 favourite was just over a length down in second place when I Just Know fell two out and Bass said: "I'd probably have won anyway as my horse still had plenty left. He got a bit low at a few but he's still only a novice. It's his first proper race and he looks progressive."

King Golan defied a 7lb rise for his recent course win when storming home under Sean Quinlan 13 lengths ahead of Bocasien Desbois.
