Burn And Turn has won three times over fences and mainly come up against very strong opposition. She'll appreciate dropping in class and will make a bold bid to get back to winning ways. However, she finished 13 lengths behind Vroum Vroum Magic at Fairyhouse while SHESAPORTRAIT was only eight lengths behind that winner here in March. The latter will be receiving 8lb, including Kevin Sexton's claim, and that can swing things in her favour. Perfect Promise wasn't far behind in that latter race so has to be considered while useful hurdler Railway Zira performed with credit in her two starts over fences at the turn of the year. Give Me A Break improved massively over timber and will be better for the experienced gained over fences at Killarney.
