It could well pay to focus attention on the three course and distance winners in this contest with them all holding reasonable claims. Slight preference goes to BORDER VICTOR who can race from the same mark as when scoring here in March and this return to hurdling after struggling over fences could provide the spark. Final Fling won twice over course and distance but has had training problems and has been brought back slowly with recent runs at Newcastle and Kelso. He should be more competitive here. Houndscourt, while not in the best of form recently, loves it around this track and is hard to write off.
