Race preview
BORN IN BORRIS made a winning debut under Rules at Wincanton in March having won a point-to-point in January and the mare can put that experience to good use despite carrying a penalty against some promising rivals. Kilmington Rose finished runner-up to a mare who went on to score in Listed company at Taunton in January and represents Paul Nicholls, who has landed this contest for the last three seasons, while others worth considering include Paris Dixie, who makes her first start for Nicky Henderson, and Wild Romance.
