In a field full of unexposed three-year-olds, WATERBORNE could be the safest option. He's one of the few to have raced over this distance when third at this track on his reappearance. With that run under his belt he could turn the tables with runner-up Gower Rules who had previously scored over 1m3f here. Warrant also posted a decent effort over C&D last time and makes more appeal than stablemate Peira. The latter is included on the long list of those who may improve for the longer trip along with Short Takes, Achalas, Viking Rose, Valdaw and Ministry.
