Burmese Whisper is weighted to beat Invade but one of the less exposed types is preferred. Tilsworth Micky was only caught in the closing stages over track and trip on his belated debut but has to give plenty of weight on today's terms to DON'T BLAME ME (NAP). The latter just failed to land the odds at Kempton last time and will be looking to make amends. Zephyr Breeze made his debut in a tougher race at Musselburgh but that was in April last year while Figurante is capable of better and On The Clock is a newcomer to note.
