A typically competitive renewal of the Old Borough Cup in which William Haggas' improving THE REVEREND is fancied to gain his biggest win yet now he steps back up in distance on the back of a facile Ripon success. Caballo De Mar is enjoying a fantastic season and heads the list of dangers in his bid to garner a fifth win, while the thriving Paddy The Squire shouldn't be underestimated either. Stressfree, Kildare Legend and Dancing In Paris all enter calculations too.
