In depth
Verdict
BURNING LAKE won an apprentices’ race over track and trip and is 6lb higher. But he should go close again given his rider can utilise his 5lb claim on this occasion. Kinch finished only a neck behind the selection with a disappointing Is That Love further behind. The latter had earlier beaten Gatsby Cap, Gormanston and Pride Of Pimlico here while Irish Ambassador scored over course and distance back in January and is preferred to Muraahin.
