Billhilly bids for a hat-trick but today’s going is a worry for him while Goddess Of Fire drops back down in trip after placed efforts over 1m2f here. TURNTABLE makes more appeal as this looks no tougher than when scoring at Newmarket a fortnight ago despite a 4lb rise and Chris Wall’s charge can go in again. Dalanijujo makes most appeal of those returning to action judged on last year’s placed efforts.
