Though WILLINGLY only won a Class 6 ladies’ race at Nottingham last month she is a real mudlark who has conditions to suit again. Showalong beat Maxzeno on soft going at Nottingham in May but the latter is 5lb better off and probably best over 6f which is also the case with Big Bard and Parisiac. Antiphon has slipped to a fair mark but is becoming something of a Windsor specialist, finishing ahead of Sera Dawn at that track last time. Cavalier Approach has more to do than at Hamilton while The Thames Boatman has never won on Turf.
