Verdict
Burma Bridge won't run unless there is overnight rain but the going can turn quickly here if the heavens open. BLOODSWEATANDTEARS beat Hawk Moth by five lengths on good ground here last month when Two Sugars and World Record were third and fourth. Three of his four victories have come over this course and distance and there is no reason why he won't go close again. Pendo has a poor strike-rate but was second over track and trip last month and only beaten a head at Lingfield subsequently. Peace Lilly got even closer at Bath last month but Light Of Love remains winless and isn't easy to predict.
