Bordoni started a short-priced favourite on his debut at Warwick but found the more-experienced In The Crowd too strong. He will have more to offer but we still prefer AMORALIST here. He proved no match for Swynmor at Newbury but he faces nothing of the winner's calibre today and this sharper track will be in his favour. Poetic Power and Snowed In look exposed but Irish import King Of Dudes is an interesting newcomer, as is Surrey Dream. King Of Wing was second on his hurdling debut at Ffos Las but the merit of that form is open to debate.
