        In depth

        Verdict

        Yorksters Prince landed a seller at Redcar last month but this is tougher and the improving Border Abby looks to have a better chance with just a 2lb rise for her recent success over the C&D. PIPER'S SONG has been in excellent form over timber winning two of his last three and reverts to the Flat on a plater's handicap mark. His rider's claim will also help and this looks within his capabilities. Media Stars wasn't far behind Border Abby last time and generally performs with credit on this track as does Pattern Mark, though the latter is 6lb higher than when dead-heating over the C&D in June.
