      In depth

      Verdict

      Border Music is in tremendous form and can complete a five-timer here, with Lucayan Dancer, Sawwaah and Bessemer others to consider. The selection swithces back to turf here, having won those four in a row on an artificial surface. However, he is suited by this 7f trip, and being by Selkirk should not be inconvenienced by the cut in the ground, so with his yard having winners we take him to make it a nap hand. Lucayan Dancer drops back from 10f to 7f once again and he did well here at that trip on his penultimate start on heavy ground, so conditions will again suit. Sawwaah has some ability and can act at this trip, although he is best over a mile and also on faster ground, while Bessemer is another who prefers a sound surface and has a bit to prove after a dismal effort last time. But Border Music knows how to win and can do it once more here.
