Billy Dane, Champery and Pennyrock are the three for the shortlist here and Champery is nominated to lead them home. Billy Dane made a promising debut in a competitive maiden, denied a clear run yet finishing sixth, beaten only two lengths. He can be expected to come on for the run and go well here. Pennyrock is a daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar so should have plenty of pace and will relish the fast ground. Kevin Ryan had a debutant winner at Thirsk on Tuesday so although the stable has generally had a quiet spell the two year olds have gone well and she is respected. Any market move would be significant. Mark Johnston's yard has enjoyed a good spell and this can continue with Champery, who made a winning debut in taking fashion at Newcastle. He is well bred and looks capable of going on from that and can defy the weight concession. Champery can come out on top.
