Verdict
Highly Focussed and Quick Recovery are similar types having both won two of their last three starts and raised a further 6lb for their respective latest wins. It would be no surprise to see either of that pair go in again while Billyoakes beat Arcanista when winning over track and trip in March but both have been well beaten subsequently. VILLA TORA will need to improve on last year’s efforts to come out best but she’s dropped 11lb in the weights since making her handicap debut and gets a speculative vote on her reappearance.
