Verdict
Bottom weight Burhaan can land this at the expense of Midmaaar and Binnion Bay. The selection is five pounds higher for winning his last race at Lingfield but still looks well treated. He has a nice racing weight to carry and although it was a long time between his last two wins we feel he wont have to wait as long this time around. Midmaar will pose as the biggest danger. He has won at Kempton twice this winter already and was unlucky in defeat at Lingfield last time out. The handicapper has also taken note so therefore he may find this tough. The same can be said about Binnion Bay who won back to back races last month and has now gone up ten pounds in the weights. He was well beaten over course and distance last time out to suggest that his winning streak has come to an end. So for the winner we return to Burhaan.
