Prince Elzaam carries a penalty for winning a similar race at Thirsk but didn't get the run of the race in a York nursery last time. Beechwood Izzy also won at Thirsk before finishing last in a Listed contest at Newmarket so should be happier in this company. Royal Destiny will be receiving plenty of weight from the two winners which could swing things in her favour though some rain may help her cause as she could find this a bit sharp. NO BILLS was a 100/1 chance on her debut over the minimum at Beverley but belied her odds with an eye-catching run, staying on strongly in the closing stages. With Nathan Evans taking over from an apprentice, Mick Easterby's filly can take this. Moonlight Escapade has a speedy pedigree and may do best of the remainder.
