Barrabool can land biggest prize on racing’s £550,000 Go North weekend

Weekend offers decent money for horses just below the top rung and Barrabool is one to watch

The weekends between the Cheltenham festival and Aintree’s Grand National meeting will never be an obvious target for the elite jumping horses but the £550,000 Go North weekend, which is now in its fifth year, offers decent money for horses just below the top rung and the £100,000 Ladbrokes Herring Queen Series Final at Kelso on Saturday is a race in which a case can be made for all 12 runners.

Surrey Belle’s 57-length win at Newcastle last time will probably be enough to send her off favourite, but that was a four-runner race where her main market rival was way below form.
