Verdict

It was back in 2008 that BORDERLESCOTT landed the Grade 1 Nunthorpe Stakes but he's still capable of more than respectable handicap form at the age of 13. The old-timer boy has every chance of notching a 15th career victory based on three solid efforts in decent handicap company this season. Lexington Place arrives in search of the three-timer and must go well for Ruth Carr, whose inmates do have a habit of hitting streaks of form. He'll be hard to keep out of the frame while though Indescribable was last of 18 at York a week ago, he impressed before that at the same venue and the Johnston horses must never be discounted on the back of one bad run.
