5/1
Versatile and has won over 5,6 and 7 furlongs in the past. Back over his best trip today and the fact he went well over C&D on his penultimate start is a positive. Stable still going well so worth considering.

7/2
Posted a personal best last time out and seems to be at the top of his game just now. Another 4lb on his back makes for a tougher assignment but he is in good form and well worth another shot if the market vibes suggest he is capable of coping.

Won off higher marks in the past but form has hit the buffers this season. Comes here with a bit to prove and needs everything to go his way. Another held by Sir Billy Wright latest and hard to see him being good enough in his current frame of mind.

Has won from a 3lb higher mark but recent efforts indicate he may come up short on these terms. Also has form to reverse with Sir Billy Wright and is another now with something to find.

Won a couple of times as a juvenile and may have needed the run when seventh of ten at York on seasonal return. Needs to up the ante but is less exposed than may of her rivals and an interesting contender for a place at least.

3/1
Bits and pieces of form suggest he is capable if in the right frame of mind but the fact he hasn't won for over two years says he is a risky option for win only purposes. very well handicapped if he can turn back the clock though.

Forecasts

Verdict

Everything points towards another bold showing from SIR BILLY WRIGHT is he an cope with his 4lb rise for a tenacious win at Thirsk last time out. He does hold a few of these and the likes of Englishman and Giant Spark have a good bit to find if they are going to reverse the from, so it may be down to Shamsaya to provide the sternest challenge on this occasion. Dougan also appeals as one for the shortlist but he has never won on turf and needs a personal best on that score.
  1. Sir Billy Wright
  2. Shamsaya
  3. Dougan
