Burning Incense can land this at the expense Swinbrook and Guidenstern. The selection was in winning action at Windsor on his penultimate start and lost nothing in defeat when second of fifteen at Haydock last time out. He looks a horse on the upgrade at the moment and with conditions to suit he looks the one to stay on the right side of. Swinbrook carries top weight and as a consequence will find this tough but he did perform well in defeat when second in a big field here over seven furlongs last time out. A repeat performance will see him run well yet again. Guidenstern was only raised three pound for his Salisbury win but was bitterly disappointing at Haydock last time so is one to treat with caution. So for the winner we return to Burning Incense.
