Verdict
Hillbilly Boy scored over 7f at Wolverhampton last Saturday and should confirm superiority with third-placed Maypole Joe. However, he's unproven over today's extra furlong and LADY LUNCHALOT is preferred. She was beaten a couple of lengths in a maiden over track and trip last month and the form has since been boosted by the runner-up winning. Further improvement is expected and she can open her account in this as last week's Southwell winner, Napinda, has plenty to find on today's terms.
