Forecasts
Braw Angus (13/8), Billy Hicks (9/4), Hills Of Dubai (4/1), Gilly Grace (8/1), Samdibien (9/1), Quarry Wizard (16/1)
This will probably go to one of the two last time winners in the field. BILLY HICKS makes his handicap debut today off what seems to be a fair mark, and he gave the impression that a few furlongs further would suit him well given the way he won at Ludlow earlier in the month. He has to overcome a poor run at this track on debut, but that can be put own to inexperience, and he looks more than able to make it back-to-back wins here. Meanwhile Braw Angus looks like he'll thrive in a test of stamina like the one he's likely to get today, further back up by the fact he was also entered for a race over 3m2f at Warwick yesterday. If taking this option instead he rates the biggest threat, ahead of the returning Hills of Dubai, if he can overcome a long lay-off.
