      Verdict

      BURNING THREAD has run well in a couple of subsequent starts since scoring at Kempton in December. David Elsworth's charge gets another chance in this having finished ahead of Desert Command and Taajub recently and also has the beating of Diamond Charlie on collateral form. Secret Glance ended last year early when landing a double over 6f with a victory at Pontefract in August and is 5lb higher on his return while Archie Stevens returns to the minimum trip for the first time since scoring at Wolverhampton in December and also races off a 5lb higher mark.
