BILLINGSLEY got the hang of things over hurdles towards the end of last season and enters handicaps with potential for more improvement and the champion jockey is booked which indicates expectations here first time out, he gets the nod. Juvenile Idilico is the most feared rival off a feather weight and he has plenty of potential to improve given his jumping has been imperfect in both starts so far. Envol De La Cour is hard to gauge but this new import has to be considered an interesting contender as a winner of three of his five French starts.
