Verdict

BILLY NO MATES again shaped better than the bare result (caught further back than ideal) over shorter at Pontefract 6 days ago and, arriving here 1 lb below the mark off which he tasted success in this race 12 months ago, he could well be the answer. Glittering Choice and comfortable Pontefract scorer Bollin Margaret head up the dangers, with handicap debutant Easter Island one to note in the betting.
