        Verdict

        Burhaan, Zhitomir and Stellite take the eye here and top weight Burhaan can win the day. Stellite won in emphatic fashion at Ayr last time and had been running consistently before that and must go well. Zhitomir is another who has been running consistently, with two placed efforts to his credit at Catterick recently. He won here last December but may just be a bit high in the weights. Burhaan though looks the one to beat. John Gosden¿s representative lost his maiden tag on his handicap debut over this course and distance and although he has been raised nine pounds he can shrug that off. He has improved significantly for stepping up in trip and Burhaan can lead them home.
