Verdict
Nothing appeals strongly but RAISE A BILLION is a tentative choice off the bottom perch. He's never started under 25-1 in five starts but if his latest second placing in a Redcar handicap can be taken literally, he could be the one in a modest affair. Biscuiteer was a close-up fifth in that Redcar contest and is one of few in decent form in recent months, during which time she's notched a couple of successes. All three career wins have come over the minimum trip and she's respected. Scoreline improved notably last time on a second handicap start and could well progress again having found some form. Both of Rock Canyon's successes have come here and he's delivered a solid account the last twice, affording him place claims off his lowly mark of 47.
