BIG TIME BILLY has had a light campaign but there was a lot to like about her second to Grassfinch at Ludlow and she finally get her head in front here. Manshoor rallied well to snatch back second spot at Towcester but this trip may prove beyond him while recent course third Occasionally Yours also has his stamina to prove. Pheidias won over track and trip last May, however, though is still 7lb higher and Snake Charmer has also triumphed over course and distance, but looks to be on a downward curve. Not So Sure Dick reverts to hurdles and could figure.
