Verdict

The market should reveal plenty but Henry de Bromhead's BORDER LAD easily landed a point in January and is taken to make a winning start under Rules at the chief expense of Jury Time, who came in a clear second here last month. Alzurs Thunder is worth forgiving his debut effort here when kicked at the start and this point scorer could also play a part.
