Lelaps has gone up 2lb for finishing third at Sandown which looks a bit harsh. Border Revia, a winner at Ripon in September, was having his first start since when well beaten at Musselburgh but can do much better than that. FARANG KONDIEW can take this as he had Dance The Rain behind when a beaten favourite over the C&D last month and should confirm the form and the latter is handicapped to dead-heat with Trail Blaze on their run here a month ago. Verse Of Love ran very well at Doncaster last time but could just be in the handicapper's grip while Deepsand found fast ground against him last time and won twice on soft going last season.
