6/5

Successful twice over this trip so far including at Ripon (soft) last time out. Visor worn in recent times is left off as he attempts to defy a 5lb rise in the weights here.

Successful over 5f at Hamilton (good-to-firm) as a two-year-old and ran well to finish third at Southwell last month. Vulnerable to less exposed rivals here.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 64

8/1

Ran well to finish fourth at Ripon (6f, soft) when making his debut for this stable earlier this month. Dropped 1lb for that effort and he remains of interest here.

Form: 9786-4

Billiebrookedit⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Toby Eley⁽⁷⁾| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 64

5/1

Best effort so far came when finishing runner-up at Ripon (6f, soft) recently. Races off a 2lb higher mark here and is interesting if capable of replicating that effort.

Form: 37496-2

Rock Hill¹⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: P T Midgley| OR: 63

Forecasts

Fortunate Vision (6/5), Haylah (9/2), Billiebrookedit (5/1), Danehill Desert (7/1), Conversant (8/1), Lucifugous (12/1), Havana Mariposa (12/1), Coastal Drive (14/1), Sandytown (14/1), Rock Hill (16/1), Citron Major (16/1), Undercover Brother (25/1), Wide Acclaim (40/1)

BILLIEBROOKEDIT ran well to finish runner-up to top weight Fortunate Vision last time out and he is taken to reverse that form in the concluding contest. The selection appeared to appreciate the step up to this trip on that occasion and he can avenge that defeat here with Haylah, who finished a close fourth last time out capable of finishing third in this contest.
