Billyoakes seems to have found his level but a tricky draw makes him hard to fancy with other strong contenders more favourably positioned. See You Mush and Firesnake would come into that category on their C&D winning form, but the vote goes to HIGGY's HEARTBEAT. A drop to sprint distances produced an improved display last time. A break since raises a little doubt, but the form of that latest run gives him an excellent chance from this mark and the risk is worth taking.
