Southoftheborder (11/8), Insurrection (5/2), Personal Ambition (11/2), Deafening Silence (6/1), Josh The Boss (15/2)

A small but select field for this Grade 2. SOUTHOFTHEBORDER looked a useful prospect when landing the odds with something to spare here last month and, with the performance backed up by the timefigure, he's taken to maintain his unbeaten record upped to a trip he's bred to be suited by. Insurrection won a race with a notable roll of honour at Exeter and is clearly very promising, as is Personal Ambition, whose Warwick form was franked by the runner-up at Newbury last weekend.
