The progressive Macs Dilemma won again at Chepstow last month but is upped in class along with Tipperary Moon, who landed a Class 6 contest at Yarmouth last time. But BILLYB scored in this grade at Doncaster when dropped back down in trip and Ann Duffield’s charge looks worth sticking with. Liberation Point’s earlier win came in a claimer at Chester while Rocket Yogi could only manage third in a similar contest here last time.
