Chronomatic improved for the step up to this trip last time and can follow up this afternoon, Kentucky Warbler and Hill Billy Rock could be the main rivals. Having shown plenty of ability over shorter, the selection comfortably beat some modest rivals over twelve furlongs at Lingfield. There could be more to come and he looks the safest option today. Kentucky Warbler also hit winning form last time, beating Neutrino in another weak affair at Hamilton. This is slightly stronger but she should still play her part. Hill Billy Rock's recent success at Newcastle was gained in great style and he looks the pick of the remainder. All in all a pretty competitive heat but Chronomatic is on the upgrade and gets our confident vote.
