Speedy Senorita may be able to take up from where she left off in June but this better ground can see BILLION DOLLAR KID resume winning ways and reverse the form of his Newbury run with Polar Annie. There should be further success to be had with Polar Annie but she has gone up by 4lbs for her win at Newbury and handled the soft ground that prevailed that day better than some of her rivals. The selection has a 6lb swing in the weights in his favour as well as the quicker underfoot conditions and can make that tell. Speedy Senorita is 5lbs higher than when last seen but she has run well fresh and should give her running whilst The Game will be more at home in this grade and should make his presence felt. Ron Harris has already landed one decent pot since claiming Billion Dollar Kid from Simon Callaghan's yard and is fancied to claim this prize.
