Born For Dancing, Borderlescott and Knot In Wood are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Borderlescott. The selection won well last time out when beating Tyrone Sam at Redcar and his trainer believes there is still plenty more to come from this 3-year-old. Knot In Wood has been in good form but he then ran disappointingly for no apparent reason last time and that run will have to be forgiven if he is to be supported today. Born For Dancing beat Tagula Bay at Beverley last time but he tackles this trip for the first time today and his middle draw is far from ideal. Clove hinted at a return to form last time so he is another worth noting in the market, but Borderlescott looks to be going the right way and is taken to score.
