Has the form to feature but he's pulled up the last twice and connections reach for another change of headgear. |

1-11 over hurdles; returned from break with two very respectable fourths at end of last season (2m1f/2m3f, good) but has a point to prove after lacklustre performance at Southwell in May. |

Won this in 2021; tends to be all or nothing these days and his latest C&D fourth at a big price, when getting no peace in front (King Of Unicorns behind), was more like it on his second run back from a break. |

Runner-up at Stratford in July (3m2f, good) but remains a maiden and he soon capitulated after a mistake three out at Fontwell a month ago; blinkers go on for cheekpieces. |

Yet to win over fences; fair run having had a wind op at Doncaster last time (3m, soft) and could go well off his current good mark. |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |

Runner-up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last May and runs off 8lb lower today; however, he struggled on his four starts towards the end of last year; major turnaround required on first run since wind surgery. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 198y Class 3 |

Stuck to his task very well when second at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in May but that took his record over fences to 0-7 and he may find this race too competitive; returns without the cheekpieces worn in his three previous races. |

10st 13lb |
In cracking form this season, with three wins and a second, until however he went down by 25l at Bangor (good) on latest start; maybe the ground that day was not soft enough; major player if bouncing straight back. |

6th 10 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
A lot more exposed than many in here but he's been in cracking form since returning from an absence and his defeat at Leicester was no backward step (2m4f, good to soft); firmly in the mix. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |

Has thrived since returning from a break in December, winning two of his three runs over hurdles before adding a third win of the season reverting to fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, soft) last month, each time under Benjamin Macey; he's up 4lb for last time but is very much a leading contender in current form. |

0-16 over hurdles but all five of this season's runs were respectable and he continues to edge down the weights; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers here; probably won't be far away. |

Won a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter in June 2022 (2m, good); some fair efforts over fences and hurdles without winning since, last time finishing creditable fifth in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (2m1f, good; cheekpieces tried); headgear retained; worth considering. |

Verdict
Burrows Hall ran very well in defeat in a big-field handicap over 2m5f here a fortnight ago and will be a tough nut to crack if in similar form again but today’s trip-and-ground combination ought to be ideal for LIFETIME LEGEND, who comes here after two very respectable recent efforts over 2m and has slipped to a good mark. Next on the list is five-time Flat winner Gift Of Raaj, who is still unexposed over hurdles and should have untapped potential over this new trip.[Chris Wilson]
