Burrows Lane has probably come up against decent performers in his two runs to date over hurdles. He's fitted with cheekpieces here and will be a threat to all if they help him concentrate. The mare Toviere was second at Warwick in May but then disappointed when favourite at Southwell shortly after and hasn't been seen since. EL TERREMOTO ran four times in France, including once over fences. He made his UK debut in a hot handicap at Chepstow and can take advantage on this drop in grade. Back To The Thatch and No Hassle Hoff are both converts from the point-to-point circuit who should have a future under Rules.
