Billhilly has won four of only six starts since joining Charlie Fellowes but is raised a further 5lb after scoring on the Polytrack here. Royal Pleasure has the beating of Dulas and Hover on recent efforts while Pinnata ended a losing run when scoring at Leicester and remains on a winning mark. A couple of these return from lay-offs with Carolus Magnus making his handicap debut but Ella McCain’s allowance negates most of a 6lb rise that HONG KONG HARRY incurred for winning at Ayr back in May and there looks more to come from him this year.
