In depth
Verdict
Willyn can make an immediate impact for new connections, with former stablemate Elusive Lady, Prigsnov Dancer and Casino Night others in with a shout. Having shown big improvement when second at Wolverhampton in July, Willyn duly went one better when landing a Thirsk claimer for John Weymes. Claimed by Jim Goldie afterwards, he faces a similar task here, and is taken to follow up. Elusive Lady was promoted from third to second in a Redcar seller last time, and despite having a little bit more to do, can make his presence felt. Prigsnov Dancer made no show in a Catterick nursery, but has gone close at this level on a number of occasions, while Casino Night will surely be placed to good effect by his trainer in time. A moderate contest can go the way of Willyn.
