Verdict

It's hard to see Walter De La Mare reversing Fakenham form with Straits Of Messina, even though the latter has been raised 7b. But the merit of that form looks questionable and Tom Symonds' charge has to concede 21lb to LEAN BURN. The bottom weight has spurned several opportunities this season but Conor Ring takes off 3lb here and his latest second at Uttoxeter appears the best form on offer in this. Caught By Witness is closely matched with Walter De La Mare on their run together at Market Rasen on Boxing Day but is only a plater and Torgamah Lad needs to learn to settle.
