BILLY'S BOOTS (NAP) didn't enjoy the run of the race in a valuable seller at York on Friday. He probably wouldn't have troubled the first two in any case but that was still a decent effort from the Goodwood winner, who should be capable of giving weight to this bunch if none the worse. It speaks volumes that Richard Hannon is introducing the Tamayuz colt Luduamf at this lowly level while Cosmic Beau is not progressing. Patrouille De Nuit was well behind the selection at Goodwood and there is no reason why he should reverse that form here.
