A competitive handicap rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Burning Shore, Brush The Ark and White Dove and the tentative vote goes to Burning Shore. The selection was a fair third behind Mondeed last time and a reproduction of that effort should suffice here under conditions that suit.Brush The Ark rates the main danger on her third behind Severn Air a couple of runs ago but she has since disappointed so can not be backed with any confidence. White Dove is another that could go well she has been in fair form of late over fences and returns to hurdling on a fair mark so she is worth a cautionary look in the market. Of the remainder Norton Sapphire would have definite claims on her latest second behind Cristophe but she is far from consistent and for the winner we return to Burning Shore.
