Verdict
Another tough race to call here for punters with not much between many of the leading fancies but the principals look to be Correct And Right, Borora, Long Shot, Major Belle, and Search And Destroy and the tentative vote goes to Borora. The selection was a fair second behind Dad's Elect last time and with the step up in trip sure to suit he will be hard to beat. Correct And Right rates the main danger on his latest second behind Rookery Lad but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him their and for that reason he is opposed. Long Shot is another that will relish the fast ground but she took a heavy fall last time and she remains high enough in the weights for what she has actually achived of late. Major Belle won a seller in good style last time out when defeating Sir Walter but this looks much more competitive. Search And Destroy has been chasing of late, he was a fair third behind Lik Wood Power last time. But he looks high enough in the weights on his return to hurdles. Of the remainder Rival Bidder is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Borora.
