A return to the Turf has rejuvenated BURGUILLOS and he came home a wide-margin winner at Leicester last week. This longer trip is not a problem and neither is a penalty given he’s due to be raised a further 5lb after today. Broctune Red has been thereabouts since returning to action and Majestic Stone drops in class having placed the last twice. Both are preferred to Cuba Ruba though Danking is unexposed and looks a threat on only his second start handicapping.
