Danny Whizzbang is the only course and distance winner but could find the ground too testing. Burrows Park has won seven races including over the trip though never on heavy going. IMPERIAL STORM encountered soft ground for the first time on his handicap debut at Wetherby and gained a convincing victory. He's up 5lb and his rider claims 4lb less so this is tougher but a double looks on the cards. Kepagge has disappointed since completing a hat-trick almost three years ago though hasn't had much racing while Lanspark has been looking high in the weights since completing a double around this time last year. Fancy Your Chances makes her handicap debut over a trip that's likely to suit.
