BILLIES FILLY showed her first sign of ability on her handicap debut over 2m4f at Sligo and with the longer trip certain to suit she can get off the mark. Kingston Kid has been mixing hurdles and fences but has only won once and that was almost two years ago. What An Ocean is 0-14 and has been beaten off this mark the last twice though this is a very moderate handicap. Meehall is better over further but Well Polly won this last year and is 4lb lower so has to be on the shortlist.
