Verdict

A tremendous Champions Day meeting in prospect and punters can get off the mark in the opener with Boreas who earns a confident TEAMtalk vote. Luca Cumani's charge has shown improved from for the step up to this trip and beyond following recent Group 3 wins at York and Doncaster. The seven-year-old comfortably repelled the gallant Persian Punch at the latter venue whilst Cover Up finished behind on both occasions and should be able to confirm superiority under a 3lb penalty. Persian Punch is one of the most popular stayers in training and the veteran front runner's tough-as-teak battling qualities will make him no pushover once again but the selection's turn of foot should prove decisive. Pole Star is a lightly raced sort who promises to stay this trip after finishing strongly in the Ebor but this represents a big rise in class so Spanish John, who notched a Listed contest over 1m7f on the July course, may prove a bigger danger.
