The John Spearing-trained Borehill Joker has held his form well this season and can squeeze another success in before his inevitable rise in the weights comes into effect at the weekend. Yesyes and Bernini are respected the most out of the rest, while it will take a substantial move for Khaladjistan for his claims to be enhanced. Kind Sir is a prime candidate for cutting out the running and should reassure punters that this will be run at a true pace. Which will suit Borehill Joker, who is still very well treated in comparison to his hurdles rating and, with the weights in his favour, holds a solid chance of increasing his seasonal haul today.
