Verdict
BURTONS WELL made a winning start over hurdles at Newton Abbot in October. He is less exposed than Zip Top and is taken to shrug off a penalty. The latter won a maiden hurdle at Fakenham last month and Lucky Jim finished runner-up in maiden company at Wetherby last time. Bumper winner Relic Rock has a chance on his earlier placed effort at Doncaster while seven-year-old Killiecrankie is a half-brother to a winner over hurdles and makes his belated racecourse debut.
