BORN TO REASON has been raised only 2lb having landed a double here last month including a course and distance success. This looks no tougher and the hat-trick beckons for Kevin Frost’s charge. Indiana Dawn was placed over a mile at Brighton last time while Peak Hill went close over 7f here on his latest start but was well beaten on a previous outing over 1m2f. Lord Murphy is not badly treated on an earlier course win and Barista is another with something to prove regarding stamina having scored over a mile at Salisbury in August.
