In depth
Verdict
Border Castle can go in at the third time of asking ahead of Show No Fear and Worcester Lodge. In a race that will not take too much winning, Sir Michael Stoute¿s charge in the colours of the Queen, may improve after meeting decent opposition, including Snow Ridge on his Kempton debut. The son of Grand Lodge failed to shine next time at Windsor where not enough use was made of him, but we expect Kieren Fallon to put matters right this time. Show No Fear has plenty of experience and might be good enough for a place but Worcester Lodge has more potential. Roger Charlton¿s inmate, another son of Grand Lodge, was very easy to back on his Lingfield debut recently, and failed to make an impression. He has to be better than that and can show up well, but on the bare form, has it to do with the selection Border Castle.
