PALMERS HILL has always looked pretty talented when giving his running and with this step back up in distance sure to suit, he looks the pick at the weights. Fanion d'Estruval was very impressive at Newbury and a conditional takes a handy 7 lb off, with Killer Clown another to consider in a cracking contest.
