It's a bonus that, despite a couple of fair runs last season, ANOTHER BILL still has his novice status intact. He found a combination of soft going and a longer trip too much at Newcastle in November but an earlier second to Cornborough at Ayr is working out well and he should be too strong for these. There probably isn't much between Beneficial Joe and Mt Witmore on collateral form and they can fight out the minor placings.
