Early season when it can be advantageous to have a fresh horse with which to go to war. Both Lough Derg Jewel and AMILLIONTIMES fall into that category for their respective connections and are no strangers to this Borders venue. The former looked to be a chaser going places prior to disappointing over C&D in January. He needs to prove himself over this trip, so the vote goes to the Jackie Stephens trained course winner who emerged with distinct credit from a six month break latest. Others to consider include the slightly risky front runner Blue Kascade and the 2016 winner (over 3m2f) Looking Well.
