IAIN JARDINE is hoping for more success with Lastofthecosmics as the Go North Finals weekend gets underway at Musselburgh on Friday.

“Dylan Johnston gave him a nice ride to get up close home last time,” Jardine said. “He’s only a few pounds higher so hopefully he’ll go well again with such decent prize money on offer.”
Among the opposition to Lastofthecosmics are Faithfulflyer, a course and distance scorer for Sandy Thomson in November, and Crossing The Bar, a convincing winner at Plumpton lasts month for Bristol-based handler Neil Mulholland.
