BURN THE EVIDENCE won a bumper at Ayr last month before making a winning debut over timber back in Ireland when scoring at Fairyhouse. Gordon Elliott’s mare looks to have stronger form than the other penalised winners Nora The Xplorer and The Player Queen. The latter has already been beaten under a penalty while the former drops back down in trip after winning over 2m4f at Sedgefield. Oot Ma Way looks best of the rest on an earlier placed effort here.
