In depth

Verdict

Burrows Seeside hasn't won since completing a track and trip double back in October 2020 but continues in good form having been narrowly beaten in his last three starts. His stablemate GOWANLAD has a similar profile having gained both victories around the same time and he's dropped to a lowly mark which he very nearly took advantage of at Southwell, just failing to get up over the minimum. He can get back to winning ways though Somewhere Secret was only beaten a length by the prolific Tommy Taylor in a better race than this here last time and holds Outrun The Storm on a line through the winner. Sir Sedric is better over an extra furlong while Tell'em Nowt's hat-trick came in Class 6 company, though he found 5f too sharp at Southwell last week.
