Silly Billy won over a mile at Beverley nine days ago so it's strange to see him competing over a much shorter trip here. He looks worth opposing off a 5lb higher mark, though Jacob Butterfield's claim is a plus. Annie Gogh could be the pick of the three-year-olds in first-time blinkers while there are possibilities about Emily Hall as she's a consistent sort who won over 5f here as a juvenile. HAB REEH is no more than a hopeful selection but he had excuses in better company at Thirsk earlier in the week and is now only a couple of pounds higher than when successful at Hamilton in June. This is more his level.
