BURROWS HALL made a promising start in handicaps when third at Wetherby 12 days ago and this longer trip should bring on improvement, so he gets the nod. Gavroche d'Allier should benefit from the refitting of cheekpieces, so he's regarded as the main threat, with Eloi du Puy also worthy of interest.
