Burlington Bert has been well beaten twice since scoring at Warwick a year ago and is no certainty to defy the penalty here. Winning pointer Park Steel could go well while Gasoline is a likely improver. ISLAND RENDEZVOUS wasn't given a hard time on debut at Chepstow in November but shaped with some promise. He might have a bit more scope than Torhousemuir and Oscar Bravo.
