Burrows Park is in the veteran stage now but won over track and trip last month and probably ran up to that form off a higher mark at Plumpton later. Lynwood Gold sprang a surprise at Lingfield in November and Espoir De Romay races off a much higher mark over fences. Sabrina is a previous course and distance winner but Harry Cobden rides Time To Tinker, who ran as something was amiss last time. Walking On Air has been a beaten favourite twice this season but remains unexposed but we’ll take a chance on he maiden MOKA DE VASSY, who makes his handicap debut having been very highly tried throughout his career to date. The step up to 3m may well play to his strengths.
