        Verdict

        Burnish made a winning reappearance at Southwell only to disappoint back at the same track last time and cheekpieces are applied. Several of these make their handicap debuts including DUTCH KINGDOM, who finished third at Lingfield recently and may improve with blinkers added to the usual tongue-tie. The 7f winner Saturnalia struggled under a penalty over track and trip last month but Hurricane Kiko won a maiden at Chelmsford back in August and is preferred to Orchestra.
