Any drying of the ground will suit BEYOND BORDERS and Karl Burke’s colt proved a very comfortable winner of a novice stakes at Thirsk on his most recent start. Up The Jazz finished second in the Rous Stakes at York and arrives here having foregone a scheduled engagement at Leicester on Thursday. Swift Salian is a son of Holy Roman Emperor and is one to note in the market given connections. Dc Flyer has been well held in all three starts so far and would need to have realised plenty of improvement in the interim.
