David Evans looks to have found a good opportunity for SIR BILLY WRIGHT. The latter went close over 6f here last month and has little to beat in this. Zat Be Zat was 10 lengths behind the winner when fifth here but still finished ahead of The Fenland Man while the remainder have even less to recommend them though Undulate finished closer on his earlier debut than he did last time.
