BURROWS EDGE had excuses when a well-beaten last of four on his chasing bow at Haydock. He’ll strip fitter today and his hurdles form was at least on a par with Mossy Fen, who didn’t show much aptitude for fences last season and has a long absence to overcome. Pasvolsky will need to improve on his last of four in a handicap at Wincanton.
