Alyanaabi has swift Haydock double in his sights
Gelded over the winter, he dropped to seven furlongs for a course-and-distance success in a Listed event here first time out this season and now tries Group Three company in the hands of Jim Crowley.
'Hopefully they won't get too much rain as I think he's better on top of the ground, but then he did finish second to City Of Troy in a Dewhurst on soft ground,' Burrows said.
'I don't think I would not run him because of the ground, but I don't think you will see the best of him on soft ground.
'Jim seems to be adamant this trip suits him. I can see us a bit further down the line trying him over a stiff six furlongs and Jim thinks these sort of races off a really fast pace would suit him.
'It looks a decent race with Kinross, Spycatcher and Audience in there as well so he will have to be on his game, but we've been pleased with him since he won at the track and there's nothing for him at Royal Ascot, so it makes sense to roll the dice and see how we get on.'
Kinross won the race in 2021 and was narrowly beaten into third the following year, with the popular eight-year-old now returning to kick off a seventh season in training for Ralph Beckett.
Jamie McCalmont, racing manager to owner Marc Chan, said: 'He's come to hand a bit quicker than the last couple of years, but he's now an eight-year-old we take every race as a bonus – let's hope he still has the same vigour and talent that he has shown in the last five years.
'Seven furlongs is probably his best trip and he has won this race and also finished third in the past.
'It's a really solid race and arguably better than the times he has run in it before – Audience is a Group One winner so it's not an egg-and-spoon race.
'It's exciting and amazing he's back, he's a warrior.'
Cheveley Park Stud's Audience was an unexpected winner of the Lockinge last season and also took the Lennox Stakes at Goodwood when stepping back to seven furlongs.
Two runs over a sprint trip of six furlongs proved educational as the gelding did not fire in either the British Champions Sprint or the Al Quoz Sprint, but now returning to his favoured seven, the bay looks to smooth a path back to the Lennox.
'We learned that he doesn't quite have the pace for six furlongs, which we kind of knew but it was worth taking the trip having had the invitation,' said Chris Richardson, managing director of owners Cheveley Park.
'He's back over his trip and hopefully we can get his season started with a view to going to the Lennox again.'
Elsewhere in the race is Karl Burke's Spycatcher, who steps back up to seven furlongs have been campaigned exclusively over six last term, and Harry Charlton's Frankel half-brother Kikkuli.

From art teacher to trailblazer: Jen Pawol's long road to becoming MLB's first female umpire
Baseball was always on television at the Long Island home where Jen Pawol grew up with her parents, Victoria and Jim. From a young age, the now 48-year-old knew that the sport was destined to be her future. 'I love being on the field the whole time,' Pawol said. 'It's in my DNA.' When she was seven, her mom and dad took her to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. A few decades later, it was a full-circle moment when Pawol returned to donate her own gear to celebrate the history of women in baseball. After rising through the ranks, umpiring the lower minor leagues all the way to Triple A, Pawol is set to make history this weekend as the first female umpire in Major League Baseball history when she works the bases at the Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves games. Everything Pawol ever worked for has been building up to this moment. 'Catching and playing multiple sports throughout my career, catching a little bit on the side and things like that, all of that has culminated to help me be ready to be an umpire,' she told last year. 'Once I started umpiring, I said, 'This is for me.' I can't explain it.' Pawol 'begged' her parents to let her play baseball as a child, but girls played softball at the time, which is what she did, according to a 2023 profile in The Athletic. At the age of 13, Pawol's mother Victoria died suddenly from an aneurysm. Her mom's untimely death solidified the bond with her dad, Jim. They pulled one another through and remain close today. 'We just pressed on,' Pawol told the outlet. 'We got super close and still are.' Pawol attended West Milford High School in New Jersey, where she was an all-state softball and soccer player for three seasons in each sport. From there, she went to Hofstra on a softball scholarship, where she had a successful college softball career as a catcher. She became a three-time all-conference pick and was on the USA Baseball women's national baseball team in 2001. Alongside sport, Pawol worked as an art teacher and got a masters degree in painting from Hunter College in New York. But it wasn't enough. 'I wasn't really satisfied,' she said last year. 'Coming off of a huge competitive career, just playing locally, I wasn't getting my fix. And I remember looking at the umpire and being like, I think that's it. I got to go for that.' During her studies on weekends Pawol umpired fastpitch softball to help fund her tuition. She continued to teach art in upstate New York and umpired on the side. After umpiring National Collegiate Athletic Association softball from 2010 to 2016 she attended an MLB umpire tryout camp in 2015. 'You know I'm a woman, right?' Pawol told longtime MLB umpire Ted Barrett, who was among the instructors and was impressed with what he saw, according to The Athletic. Pawol was invited to the Umpire Training Academy at Vero Beach, Florida and was offered a job in the Gulf Coast League—one of the lower minor leagues— in 2016. It was where she made her debut as the first woman to umpire a Minor League Baseball game in almost a decade. The culture of the game has changed significantly, but Pawol said she was well aware of the additional scrutiny on her at the time, as she stepped up to the professional ranks. 'I can control my hustle, my calls, my professionalism. But gender and color and things like that, no one can control those,' she told in 2016. 'I can see why people are talking about it, asking those questions, because of the rarity of women being involved.' Ultimately, Pawol said she hoped her achievements 'might inspire more girls and women to get involved' in the sport. As for the men she has dealt with on the field throughout her career, Pawol didn't have a bad word to say. 'It's so much fun, and the men I've met in both Major and Minor League Baseball have been so wonderful and friendly,' she said. In April 2023, Pawol became the first female umpire in 34 years to reach Triple A. The significance of that day on April 30 in North Carolina struck her when St. Louis Cardinals' veteran Adam Wainwright, who made a rehab start for the Memphis Redbirds that game, approached the mound. 'Jen, I have four daughters and I think what you're doing is awesome,' Wainwright told Pawol, she recalled to The Athletic. In her no-nonsense manner, Powell replied: 'I still got to check your hands,' Pawol recalled, laughing. 'Just so you know.' Pawol has not forgotten the women who came before her, who each played a part in making her incredible achievement possible. Former umpires Bernice Gera and Christine Wren both shortened their first names to Bernie and Chris in a bid to force their way into the sport. Gera umpired one game in 1972 after fighting for years to do so, before she quit because of 'resentment' from other umpires and the baseball establishment. Wren umpired for three seasons in Class A from 1975 to 1977. Pam Postema, a close friend of Pawol's, umpired in the minor leagues for 13 seasons before she became the first woman to umpire a big-league spring game in 1989. Her contract was canceled after six years at Triple A. And Ria Cortesio, the second woman to umpire a major-league spring training game, even lowered her voice and cut her ponytail to fit in. Cortesio spent nine years in the minor leagues, including the last five in the Double-A Southern League, then was released after the 2007 season. 'The things that Pam and Ria and Chris had to deal with, they were moving the big boulders,' Pawol said. 'You don't have to change your name or pretend to be a boy. You just show up.'

Crystal aiming to sparkle with Ballyroan repeat
Gerard Keane hopes a successful defence of the Tote Ballyroan Stakes at Leopardstown on Thursday can open further doors for Crystal Black. The seven-year-old was unbeaten in all four starts last year, which saw the son of Teofilo triumph in the Duke of Edinburgh Stakes at Royal Ascot before impressively landing this race by five lengths for his maiden Pattern win. Crystal Black made a return to action in the Alleged Stakes in April, finishing seven lengths adrift of Galen in fourth to end his winning streak. He subsequently underwent a wind procedure and Keane is looking forward to his stable star kick-starting his 2025 campaign, as he lines up a tilt at the final Irish Classic of season next month. 'He's coming along, he had a little bit of a hobday,' Keane said. 'So he's coming along well, we are happy with his work and as good as we can have him without a run. He's probably 90 per cent so it's a nice little race to start him back with. As long as he runs a nice race, we'll be happy. 'He's got an entry in the (Irish) Leger, so that is the plan if we think he is good enough to run in that, but that's in a month's time. 'That's the plan – Ballyroan, the Leger – and then after that we will see what's happening then.' Six-time Irish champion jockey Colin Keane is aboard for his father in the Group Three contest over a mile and a half. Sons And Lovers goes for Joseph O'Brien, the Noel Meade-trained Group-winning Layfayette also starts and Jessica Harrington has entered Sea The Boss. Johnny Murtagh's Siege Of Troy and This Songisforyou, trained by Emmet Mullins, complete the six-runner line-up.
