      Verdict

      Prince Of Burma was expected by some to bounce back at Lingfield last time when sent off favourite. He duly did so and makes more appeal than Mcmonagle, 10lb higher than his win at Redcar in July. Unix Michelangelo is another in the handicapper's grip but It's My Time has claims off his current mark. KEENE has been threatening to open his account and the application of headgear for the first time may finally see him come good.
