For Shia And Lula returned to a winning mark here last time and duly scored. But he's been upped 7lb so PRINCE OF BURMA makes more appeal. The latter can be forgiven a recent poor effort over 1m2f given he'd gone close over a mile at Yarmouth earlier and he'll get plenty of help from the saddle from Silvestre De Sousa today. Tax Reform finished closer here last time but the remainder arrive in poor form and are hard to fancy.
