Winning pointer BORDER BREAKER wasn't beaten far on his debut under Rules at Huntingdon. This much stiffer course should bring his stamina into play and he can open his account. Nimbus Gale needs more, as does Dawson City, but there was promise in Wild At Midnight's first run at Southwell considering she got loose before the start. Hel Tara is a full sister to a bumper winner and has a NH pedigree so should be monitored in the betting hailing from a powerful yard.
