This is a better race than the one Burbank won here last month but runner-up Romeo Brown could give the form a boost in the previous contest and Charlotte Jones takes off 7lb again, though Onthefrontfoot has a chance of reversing the form on 6lb better terms. Not That Fuisse won a bumper on his racecourse debut and has won over hurdles and fences since. He was odds-on on the Polytrack and Lingfield last time and was staying on in the closing stages having got outpaced off the home turn. Habitual front-runner Fanzio should make a this a true test but that will also suit THE KING OF MAY, a very decent 2m chaser who has been a bit unlucky this season. Just Call Me Al failed to cope with a penalty here last time having won a lesser contest earlier and Wor Verge will also need to up his game.
