Verdict
Mr Burgees has been placed in a point-to-point and a bumper but was disappointing when favourite at Uttoxeter last month. ON TOUR looked a nice prospect when third in a Listed bumper at Ascot in December. He hasn't been seen since but could have too much class for today's rivals if fully wound-up. Arden Denis won over 3m between the flags so might need further than this over hurdles and a similar comment applies to the mare Annaroe.
