SAMMY BILL has arguably been one of the most improved horses in training this season, looking like a smart prospect in both starts to date. Despite the hike in the weights he could be a graded performer in waiting and should be able to maintain his unbeaten chasing record in this. His main rival is likely to beJust Don't Ask, whose latest third at Exeter looks strong, with the winner running out an impressive victor at Ascot last time out, while the likes of Beau Bay and Hollywoodien have run fine races in prestigious handicaps before and offer some strong form lines.
