        Verdict

        Borders had Bishops Court two lengths behind when chasing home Kier Park in a Beverley conditions event and is now 11lb better in at the weights so should have little difficulty in confirming the form. Indian Spark appears better than ever at the ripe old age of eight and had Mariinsky, The Trader and Rushcutter Bay behind when a close fourth in the Palace House Stakes having previously landed a minor event at Thirsk last month.
