In depth
Verdict
BORSDANE WOOD (NAP) took well to the Fibresand last month when landing a maiden by four lengths over track and trip with the re-opposing Creativity further back in third. Karl Burke’s colt looks worth sticking with now handicapping. The remainder all debut at the track though Najm won over 6f at Newcastle a fortnight ago, when Pentewan finished third, and Swinley Forest drops in class along with Big City, who has won in heavy going and may well take to this surface. Kilig gets a change of headgear on the back of improved efforts and is preferred to Iva Reflection.
