The veteran Regal Parade is still well up to this class as he's shown in his last two starts on this track but Dinneratmidnight, who won two of his first three starts in his first campaign, didn't fulfil his potential though obviously goes well fresh. Jubilee Brig completed an all-weather double last month and wasn't disgraced from his new mark on fast going at Doncaster while Spellmaker has been going well over this track and trip after his victory at Lingfield in January. The latter looks a threat to all but, in the hope that an extra furlong will bring out the best in him, it's SIR BILLY WRIGHT, whose only victory has come over tonight's trip, who is handed the vote with his young rider's claim a plus.
