SOUTHOFTHEBORDER looked in a spot of bother when unseating his rider 2 out in a Grade 2 here last month, but he's clearly held in high regard and can resume winning ways now returned to calmer waters. Ballybentragh makes plenty of appeal on paper and is the pick of Gary Moore's trio before market clues. Rock House could easily bounce back and is respected.
