Plenty of these with claims and a token vote goes the way of HAWDYERWHEESHT after his recent third over track and trip in this grade. Discay won at Ripon last time and may not have finished improving yet while Ayr winner Calculated Risk has every chance if handling this faster ground. Bayan Kasirga carries a penalty for winning at Catterick where he beat subsequent winners Grand Diamond and Vittachi and St Ignatius and Corton Lad are others to consider in what looks something of a lottery as Burns Night can be given a chance as well
