This could develop into a match between BILLAMS LEGACY and Notnowlinda, with preference for the former following a breathing operation/with a tongue tie back on (has been held back by her inability to settle). Dan Skelton's mare made the perfect start over timber at Warwick in October, and with her latest effort easy to excuse, she's sure to give the selection plenty to think about. Vienna Girl and Hannah's Walk can fight out third spot.
