Verdict
BORN IN BORRIS made a winning debut under Rules at Wincanton in March and she may be capable of defying a penalty on her reappearance, despite the presence of some unexposed mares from powerful yards. Conditions won’t be as testing as when Kilmington Rose was beaten by the useful Coquelicot in a bumper at Taunton in January and she’s a danger. Fitness is unlikely to be an issue for Paris Dixie and Wild Romance and Vain Girl have shown promise in points.
