Having shown promise in bumpers, MR BURGEES made a winning start over timber at Worcester. A penalty is unlikely to prevent a follow-up here against modest opposition. Saleal has hinted at ability and may be the one for forecast-backers as Craigdancer was tailed off on his only start in Ireland and none of the others have shown much so far either.
