RACE SUMMARY:

BORDERLINE showed plenty when runner-up over C&D and he should improve for the experience, so he’s worth chancing to open his account at the second attempt despite the presence of some noteworthy newcomers. Benny Silver, Boris The Animal and Pappa Rocco Coco are all of interest first time out.
