      Verdict

      Big Bear Hug is still a maiden after 13 starts but found 1m2f stretching her stamina here a fortnight ago when Long Call was tailed off. All of BURABACK's three victories have been on the all-weather but he finished runner-up on heavy ground at Ayr in October so could be good enough. Kingwell gained a shock victory at Wolverhampton in February but finished last at Newcastle the following month. Distinction is 1-36 but has performed with credit the last twice and has dropped to a low enough mark to get into contention.
