BILLY BEETROOT is taken to complete the hat-trick at the main expense of Yughanni and Rossett Rose. Ron Harris claimed him out of the Stuart Williams yard after his win last time out and he won't have to find much improvement for him to get his head in front again. He has his optimum conditions and from a middle draw he should prove tough to beat. The main danger should come from Clive Brittain-trained Yughanni who is eased in grade after a promising run in a handicap last time. She remains unexposed so she certainly has to be of interest. Rossett Rose was returning from a lengthy break at Nottingham last time and she is entitled to come on for that pipe-opener. Future Gem won a maiden in decent style at Catterick last time and she is one to note in the market. There are plenty in with chances but the vote goes to Billy Beetroot.
