LEAN BURN was never close to the pace at Uttoxeter last month, staying on when it was all too late. Yet to rediscover the level of form displayed in late autumn last year, he's dropped a few pounds since April and looks on a decent mark, with Harry Challoner's claim a bonus. With Grace represents Peter Bowen, whose yard has been a little quieter in the past week, and should go well looking to supplement Uttoxeter gains earlier this month. She has ideal conditions. Behtarini should score sooner or later and ought to be suited by two and a half miles for the first time, whilst Rawaaj has his fair share of weight but shouldn't be discounted.
