BIG TIME BILLY has been set alight by a visor over hurdles, rattling up a hat-trick in April and May. His second success came in Listed company and, though the drop in distance is a slight worry, he could be thrown in here and Mikael Barzalona has travelled up for the ride. He gets 12lb from Filatore, who made a winning reappearance at Chepstow and may be capable of better. Kodicil is knocking on the door but is also creeping up the weights and the handicapper looks to have Foster's Road and Tartan Jura where he wants them. Mason Hindmarsh may also struggle but Major Domo is worth a try over 2m and Toptempo will strip fitter for a run at Ascot and should pick up a staying handicap at some stage this year.
