      Verdict

      BORDER REIVER won off a 5lb higher mark over C&D in May last year and the ground has turned in his favour again. Tim Easterby's eight-year-old is taken to end his long losing run though Kosta Brava is capable of putting up a bold show under top weight and Qoubilai was only beaten a head by North Stack on his debut for Tim Vaughan at Market Rasen. Kilkenny All Star won off this mark in the autumn but has been below his best lately and may find this company too hot.
