None of those in the bottom half of the handicap make much appeal. There are three Irish raiders in this and Newstart is open to improvement now going handicapping. Lilywhite Gesture won over a much longer trip at Sedgefield last week but now has a penalty to carry. Uttoxeter winner Burnt Sienna was beaten 14 lengths by Bourne, who runs in the previous race, when second here last month and is 5lb higher. PERFECT POISON got much closer to Bourne at Bangor and James Cowley's claim can help him pick up the winning thread again here ahead of Silver Shuffle, who ran well on the Flat last week.
