Oldjoesaid won over C&D a fortnight ago but has yet to prove he's up to winning in this higher grade. No such doubts surround FAVOURITE GIRL, who was in fine form in the first half of last season, winning four times. She'll have improved for her recent pipe-opener and is just preferred to Silaah. He had Lui Rei behind when seventh over 6f at Newmarket last time and finished ahead of him when runner-up over today's trip at Lingfield in March. Beat The Bell stood little chance from his outside draw at Chester last time but was placed twice before that and Lucky Numbers is not out of it dropping back to arguably his best trip.
