In depth
Verdict
Colourful Career returned a losing favourite when last seen in maiden company and steps up in trip today. He’s closely matched on these terms with Line Of Beauty, who was narrowly beaten at Chelmsford recently and should have the measure of Relevant. The remainder have yet to threaten so Ed Walker may have found a good opportunity for the newcomer BURRUMBEET, a half-brother to three winners, given this won’t take much winning.
