A seller that rests between Burlington Fayr and Tokyo Jo and we take the former to score. The pair met at Catterick recently with Tokyo Jo coming out on top by two-and-a-half lengths, but with an 11lb pull then Burlington Fayr clearly looks capable of reversing the form and is taken to do so. Aggbag and Splendidio perhaps look best of the remainder and can fight out the minors but in a race not to dwell long on, we take Burlington Fayr to be good enough.
