Split The Atom and Mo Henry had both gone close here before finishing behind fourth-placed GEOLOGICAL (NAP) over track and trip. The latter went on to score over a mile at the track last week but had won over today’s distance in December when getting the better of Shepherd's Purse and Captain Cullen. Damian English’s charge looks to have decent claims once again. The Burnham Mare has done all her winning over 5f so far while Burn The Boats slides further down the weights.
