Burnham has gone close the last twice including a narrow defeat over today's trip in slow ground at Salisbury. Winning partner Richard Hughes is back on board and the three-year-old should be in the firing-line again. Sunny Future was still beaten 13 lengths when runner-up at this track last time and Twelve Strings is proving frustrating, returning a beaten favourite in four of his last five starts. Cyrus Sod is not without a chance but STUNNING VIEW ran her best race so far on her handicap debut at Pontefract last time and gets the nod with more to come.
