Sportingbet B.D. Prev-C&G (LR)
Burnstone made an impressive debut. He settled behind genuine pace from his good barrier (2) but was shuffled back on rails to second last in a packed ten-horse field nearing the home turn. He continued along the rails in the straight to hit the front at the 200m and he raced away from that point to score easily, winning by three and a half lengths in a very good performance. Top Me Up was quickly away and immediately took the lead. He travelled particularly well, kicked clear at the 400m before being headed by the winner at the 200m and then battled well for a good second, creating a good impression on debut. Kirabo got through from his inside barrier (1) to race behind the leader. He then fought on well in the straight for a sound (4.8 lengths) third on debut. Demonstrate ran on quite well from seventh at the turn for (5.3 lengths) fourth while his Godolphinraced stablemate, the favourite Mesa travelled well outside the leader to the 300m, but was under pressure shortly afterwards and then battling on for (5.4 lengths) fifth.
