THE TIMEFORM VIEW BROTHER BORIS clearly relished the stamina test when opening his account in a 29f handicap here last time but he should cope with this drop in distance and a 6lb rise is unlikely to be enough to stop him in his tracks. Yorgunnabeplucky should ensure that the selection doesn’t have things all his own way, while Uncle Al will need to take a step back in the right direction if he’s to trouble his two rivals.
