It was soft ground when BURMA BRIDGE finished second over track and trip last week. Richard Hannon's charge looks the one to beat on that evidence. Brandon Castle ran well over a mile here last month only to disappoint on his recent start at Salisbury and Alexi finished a bit closer last time but My Strategy may improve past her after a modest debut effort at Newmarket. The remainder have even less to recommend them.
