      Verdict

      HILLBILLY BOY (NAP) won a Class 2 handicap over track and trip on his latest start beating no less than four subsequent winners. Tom Dascombe’s charge should be good enough at this level on that evidence. Big Time and Anonymous John also drop in class with the latter preferred on these terms while course winner Captain Revelation was runner-up over 7f here on his penultimate start. Kinglami arrives out of form and the remainder are even harder to fancy on these terms.
