BILKO PAK gave Fifth Ave 8lbs and a beating here in August and, despite the fact official BHA ratings point towards Fifth Ave reversing the form, we'll take Richard Hannon's colt to repeat the dose. The horse is two-from-two on artificial surfaces having scored nicely at Wolverhampton last time and is at his best over this distance, so despite the fact an outside draw isn't ideal he should take the world of beating. Fifth Ave is probably better than she was able to show when behind Bilko Pak that day and does have a good draw to work from, so it's hard to see her not making a race of it under the impressive Sophie Doyle. Rosina Grey was outclassed at Newmarket last time and will appreciate this steep drop in grade, so she completes the shortlist. Rod Millman's filly actually comes out marginally on top at the weights but hasn't yet raced on the surface and is opposed on that basis.
