He's 6lb higher today but beat Two No Bids on that occasion and the latter has since scored at Wolverhampton where he beat Barbados Bob. Silly Billy won a claimer over track and trip last month but ran a shocker here last time, while Piceno was also well beaten at this venue last week having won at Newmarket in November with Conry behind. Docofthebay remains out of sorts and Polytrack winner The Great Gabrial makes his debut on the Fibresand.
