Something went badly amiss with Billy Roberts at Ripon last month but his earlier fourth at Musselburgh is the best form on show. Popsies Joy posted her best effort to date when second over 6f at Thirsk and can get involved while Epeius looks likely to finish closer after a modest debut fifth at Newcastle. Party Thyme and Meddlesome may yet be capable of better but a chance is taken on the newcomer RICHIE MCCAW, a half-brother to a couple of middle-distance winners and representing a yard that gets its fair share of two-year-old winners here.
