Hill Of Dreams has gone close a few times since winning her maiden in 2011 and Richard Hughes may conjure up the improvement needed to finally win a handicap. Maz returned to form at Wolverhampton last time and remains on a winning mark raised only 2lb. Fonterutoli beat Automotive at Lingfield in February and the latter is weighted to reverse running, but Bitaphon's all-weather wins have come on the Fibresand at Southwell. CHARLES TYRWHITT hasn't looked like winning since finishing a promising third on his debut at Warwick last April. Lightly-raced, he's the speculative selection on his return to action.
Charles Tyrwhitt 8-1 (9-7) Raced wide held up, lost place 5f out, not a factor after, last of 13, 42l behind Cape Explorer (9-6) at Leicester 1m 3yo hcp 0-65 (6) gf in Aug.
Bitaphon (IRE) 8-1 (8-8) Chased leaders, ridden 3f out, weakened over 1f out, 6th of 8, 10l behind Rio Cobolo (8-9) at Southwell 7f hcp 0-75 (5) fbs in Mar.
Piccolo Mondo 10-1 (9-4) Raced wide, always last, ridden on outside and struggling 3f out, eased when beaten over 1f out, tailed off, last of 6, well behind Baylini (9-5) at Sandown 1m 2f app hcp (5) gf in Jul '10.
Fonterutoli (IRE) 25-1 (9-0) Driven forward and soon prominent, every chance 2f out, weakened over 1f out, 5th of 13, 4l behind Divine Pamina (9-7) at Kempton 1m hcp 0-65 (6) pol.
Hill Of Dreams (IRE) 9-1 (9-5) In touch, headway 2f out, went 3rd over 1f out, ridden inside final furlong, stayed on, 3rd of 11, 4l behind Downtown Boy (8-12) at Wolverhampton 1m 1f hcp (0-55) (6) pol in Mar.
