A competitive contest gets Proceedings underway, but the main protagonists appear to be Hillside Girl Sky Harbour and Cotosol but we will take a chance on Sky Harbour. The colt from the Dandy Nicholls yard was a good third behind Clifden last time out having appeared not to stay the six furlong trip. The drop back to five furlongs on a stiff track should be ideal and he will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour. Hillside Girl rates the main danger she was a fair fourth in a listed race at Beverley last time out behind Attraction and a reproduction of that effort would see her go close. Cotosol is also worthy of consideration but he gave the impression he would be seen to better effect over further when a one paced fourth behind Three Valleys last time. Of the remainder Fitzwarren and Prince Tara showed improved form last time out and if they were to improve again they could easily be involved in the finish
