      Verdict

      Boundaries had his strongly-fancied stablemate Berberana well behind when a 25/1 third at Thirsk recently. It's anybody's guess who will come out on top this time and DEFENCE COUNCIL is a more straightforward option. Mel Brittain's colt was headed on the line over today's trip at Haydock on his recent reappearance and is taken to go one better with that run under his belt. Look Who's Kool ended last season with a win at Lingfield and better is expected from him this year, while Bold Bidder was aimed high after landing a double in the summer and could do better back at this level.
