        Verdict

        Border Terrier has taken some time to find out where the winners enclosure is, but now he has got his head in front, a follow up win could be on the cards, with Easibet Dot Net and Bridge Pal chosen as the likely dangers. Micky Hammond¿s gelding came with a late surge to beat Colway Ritz at Newcastle a fortnight ago, it was a modest event, but today¿s opposition are of a similar class and with the help of Keiren Fallon back to back wins look a distinct possibility. Easibet Dot Net is steadily improving, and with the yard hitting form , can make a real impression against this field. Bridge Pal ran well over course and distance back in July when just touched off by Gargoyle Girl and if fit after a four month holiday, there is every chance she will be involved in the finish. Course winner Divine Light is another in with a shout but Border Terrier just gets the verdict.
