      Verdict

      Billingsley took advantage of a tumble down the weights when scoring at Ffos Las but reverted to type at Leicester on Friday when he never looked like justifying favouritism. CHAZZA posted a better effort at Uttoxeter on only his second outing over fences and has more scope than these as Crack Du Ninian has looked in the handicapper's grip since landing a double last autumn. Discko Des Plages placed over track and trip at the end of last season and has undergone wind surgery since while Antunes drops down in class.
