Both of his wins to date have been on the AW, starting off 2017 with an impressive 4L win at Kempton over 1m3f. Has run well in defeat subsequently and retains enough ability to win a race on turf. Will be running on at the death.

A fairly consistent performer down the years and was winning for a fifth time when scoring over an extended 1m3f at Haydock earlier this month. In fine fettle at the moment, he is sure to attract plenty of support.

Three wins in 33 starts, his most recent victory coming over this trip at Lingfield in March of last year. Something to find with Camakasi on their last run at Windsor, he faces a stiff task.

8/1
Has a strike rate of just under 10 per cent, the last of his four victories coming over this trip at Epsom back in July 2015. Has steadily come down the handicap but his most recent form would not be good enough to secure first prize this evening.

Has been in fine fettle so far this season, winning a couple of races and showing up well in his other races. Back to his best last time when given a canny ride from the front at Chepstow by Martin Dwyer and he could run another big race.

Has won six races in his career to date and has been showing up admirably in the majority of his recent starts over this trip. Likes to get his toe in and would be a decent threat if able to produce his best form.

Versatile mare with three wins to her name on the level as well as winning three times over hurdles. She last ran on the level in October, finishing a close second before winning back-to-back races over timber. Sure to be there at the finish.

Forecasts

Omotesando (15/8), Mrs Burbidge (3/1), Camakasi (11/2), Avocadeau (11/2), Silver Dixie (8/1), Nouvelle Ere (12/1), Outlaw Torn (14/1), Heezararity (16/1)

Verdict

MRS BURBIDGE is a wonderfully game and consistent mare who does not know how to run a bad race. Also a useful performer over hurdles, she arrives here fresh from a decent break having been off the track since December and is taken to make a winning return. Camakasi holds Heezaraity on their most recent run and will be staying on in the latter stages when others have had enough but a bigger threat to the selection should come in the shape of Omotesando. The seven-year-old is running really well and will be looking to follow up his recent success. Avocadeau and Nouvelle Ere are others to consider.
  1. Mrs Burbidge
  2. Omotesando
  3. Camakasi
