Verdict

Burrows Lane has had his limitations exposed since winning a Uttoxeter maiden in July. Flemcara hasn't really threatened so far under Rules but might do better now handicapping. A similar comment applies to BLAZON, who got outpaced by the winner over 2m at Stratford last time and will appreciate this extra distance. Rainy Day Dylan showed some improvement at Wincanton in March and there was also promise on his reappearance here over 2m. Jockey bookings suggest he's preferred to stable companion Goodgirlteresa while the three-year-old Phoenix Dawn can also figure.
