BURRISTO showed potential for Richard Hannon and his new yard keep firing the winners in so that could be enough for this. However, like Rwanda Mist he doesn't have a conventional jumping pedigree and neither would want more rain. Thistleton has shown glimpses of ability but none of the remainder can be realistically recommended on what they have shown on the Flat so the market may prove the best guide.
