made all, ridden over 1f out, ran on well
This will not take too much winning and it is a race to treat with caution. However, Burkees Graw, who is the obvious form pick, should appreciate this slight ease in grade and he is just preferred over Loveisdangerous and the temperamental Emaradia. The David Nicholls-trained Burkees Graw had Loveisdangerous well adrift of him on similar terms at Ayr earlier in the season and should uphold the form today. Therefore, he may find the well-drawn Emaradia provides him with a sterner test here. But as she cannot be guaranteed not to boil over in the preliminaries, Burkees Graw looks to be the safest option. The rest have shown nothing of merit so far and are unlikely to do so today.
