Verdict
BURGUNDY BETTY could be another for the in-form Pauling team as she is the only one of these with any worthwhile recent form to her name. She was prominent for a long way when upped in distance at Huntingdon last month and that was her best effort to date. Whispering Speed is eased in grade but has yet to catch the eye in three runs over hurdles while Banks Road is hard to catch right. Earcomesthedream does his best work here but isn’t getting any younger.
