In depth
Verdict
Border Music showed signs of running into form last time and is taken to open his account at the main expense of On The Waterfront and Flying Adored. The last mentioned gave little sign of encouragement on her debut in a handicap at Leicester last month but John Dunlop's horses are in better form now so she may be capable of better. Trifti receives weight form all of his eight rivals and ran up to his best at Folkestone last time. Charles Cyzer's gelding has to be respected but may again to settle for minor honours. The handicapper has taken few chances with either Zangeal or Belisco and of more interest may be On The Waterfront. The John Hills-trained colt has run well off today's mark before and is entitled to be thereabouts. The vote though goes to Border Music. Andrew Balding's gelding showed improved form in a much better race than this at Haydock last week when third behind Mrs Moh and a reproduction of that form may suffice.
