Hard to enthuse about the chances of any of these. COASTAL PASSAGE gets the token vote by virtue of his third in a seller at Leicester last month given a repeat may just be good enough in this company. Silly Billy has been placed over longer trips on the Polytrack of late but hasn't scored on Turf since 2010 while a third at Bath in May was Chester'Slittlegem's best effort of the season so far. The remainder don't have any recent form worthy of a mention
