HEY BILL has won on good ground in the past and Graham McPherson's charge can register his second win over fences in this 0-125 contest. The selection ran well when finishing runner-up on his latest outing and is taken to get the better of the well handicapped Goodtoknow who's best form has come on surfaces much softer than he's set to encounter in this. Last years winner According To Harry is back down to a useful mark and he can claim third this time around.
