Verdict
Bora Bora looks best of the Appleby pair, having delivered two commendable efforts at this venue since joining his new yard this year and should make a good fist of defying topwweight. His stable companion, Motawaafeq, is not discounted but is also far from easy to catch right. Brains has been brought along steadily in five starts since joining John Butler, but his latest run when a close-up fifth at this track suggested he's coming to the boil and is well worth a place on the shortlist. Kenilworth King has to be of interest if putting his best foot forward but CLOCH NUA arrives on the back of a sequence of really good efforts at this level and the course and distance winner still looks to inhabit a feasible mark. Super Den is a danger if repeating the level of a significantly improved effort latest.
