OWN ACCORD (2) didn’t run until April where followed up debut fourth at Pontefract with wins over 7f and 1m at Wetherby. Further progress anticipated. BORN RULER (1) remains 10lb above his last winning mark. Competitive from a similar rating all year. Enters calculations. POL ROGER (5) completed back-to-back course and distance wins before finishing second at York. Up a further 4lb this time. Dangerous to rule out continued improvement. JEAN BAPTISTE (4) is just 1lb higher than when runner-up tackling track and trip during April.
