In depth
Verdict
Burguillos hasn't had much experience and there was some give in the ground when he won a Salisbury maiden but he's the type to improve this campaign and should go well. WAPPING has a very similar profile though does have the advantage of a recent run and his maiden victory came on fast ground. David Lanigan's charge can take this as Primogeniture, who has changed yards yet again, has performed moderately since returning from a break. Mariee is consistent enough but has only won on the all-weather and has been a beaten favourite in her last four starts while Compton Mill suffered in the weights after his victory in a Newmarket handicap in June.
