Verdict
Enchanted Garden got off the mark over fences at Market Rasen in July and should have more to offer. But he doesn't look particularly well treated here, though still makes more appeal at the weights than either Nearest The Pin or Russian Regent. BORDER BREAKER, a winning pointer, went off much too quickly at Worcester on his chasing bow and was a spent force turning for home. He's much better than that and, with the blinkers dispensed with here, can recoup losses. Run With The Wind had Gleann Na Ndochais nine lengths behind when successful over course and distance in July and should confirm the form, despite the revised terms.
