BURNHOPE failed to cope with a step up in class last time but had earlier beaten stablemate Best Tamayuz five lengths over 7f here. Back in the same grade for this, Scott Dixon's charge can return to winning ways. Putin is not easily dismissed at this level and was beaten only a length by Starfield, who runs in the previous race, on his latest start at the track. Roger Thorpe is only 2lb higher than his win over course and distance in May and the lightly-raced Walk Like A Giant may figure if taking to the Fibresand.
