Description

Burnham Market has become Oliver Townend territory.

A remarkable record here, a system that works, and Cooley Rosalent back again - it's a combination that's hard to look past.

But it's never that simple here. This is a track that consistently produces top-level performances, and when horses run well at Burnham Market, it usually stands up against anything else in the calendar.

Add in Banzai du Loir, an in-form Gemma Stevens yard, and the usual pre-Badminton question of who actually runs and how hard… and there's a bit more to it than it first looks.

Highlights

• Oliver Townend's record, and why this run works so well for his horses
• Cooley Rosalent vs Banzai du Loir at the top of the field
• Why Burnham Market consistently produces strong four-star performances
• The depth in the field, including Gemma Stevens and a strong supporting cast
• Who runs, who doesn't, and what we really learn this close to Badminton

Guests

• Catherine Austen, equestrian journalist and eventing analyst.
