Verdict

BURBANK is rated 142 over hurdles, well clear of anything these rivals have achieved. He makes his chasing debut against more experienced rivals but appears to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark. Bach De Clermont showed potential when narrowly beaten in a handicap at Fakenham last month while Hogan's Height showed marked improvement when only caught on the run-in over this trip at Towcester and can go well again. Shanroe In Milan was in the lead when unseating his rider three out on his chasing debut here last month where Midnight Target was held when falling two out.
