Verdict
Burrows Park, a winner twice on the Flat in the French provinces and second in a Listed race at Nantes in June last year, is an interesting newcomer for Venetia Williams but will need to be primed after a long absence as RIVER FROST (NAP) looked a sure-fire future winner when third at Huntingdon earlier this month. Bumper winner Admiral Kid was beaten when falling at Warwick on his hurdles bow but dropping back in distance may help as he looks a free-going sort.
