BORN TO REASON opened his account with victory over a longer trip here a fortnight ago. Raised only 3lb, the three-year-old has more scope than Stamp Duty, a runner-up over track and trip last time but without a win since 2014. Top Offer can place off his current mark while Bearag will take advantage of a slide down the weights before long. Devil's Guard is hard to predict but not badly treated if in the mood.
