Born Braver heads our ratings on 127 and gets the nod in this big 13-runner staying contest at Gowran Park, though only a pound clear of Mordor on 126, so the margin is narrow. Mordor is the chief danger, with Moonovercloon on 123 and Fad Eadrainn on 121 also firmly in the picture, and the testing soft ground over three miles will make stamina decisive. With the top of the field so tightly packed our confidence is low, but Born Braver is the best of them on the figures and gets the vote.
