Billy Dylan was beaten only a neck over track and trip in May with Country Charm back in fourth and may yet open his account on the all-weather having had 22 attempts so far. Munificent and The Tron were winning over course and distance early in the year though the latter is 6lb higher and the former hasn’t raced since April. SIR PHILIP needs to step up on his form in novice company to get involved though not by much and a chance is taken on Henry Candy’s charge now handicapping for the first time.
