Verdict

Those at the top of the weights look the ones to focus on here, with BORN SURVIVOR selected to follow up having taken advantage of a much-reduced mark to win his first race for almost 2 years at Stratford 16 days ago. He rates a solid option with the Skelton team thriving at present. Beware The Bear heads the dangers with Nico de Boinville up for the first time, ahead of Domaine de L'Isle.
