In depth
Verdict
As usual Bill Turner has his juveniles well forward and sets a poser by saddling a couple of runners in this. Lady Killer has the benefit of a run and will know more this time, but the pick of the pair could be Look No More, who is a half-brother to several useful sprinters. Ace Coming and Blackmoll 2nd and 4th respectively at Doncaster, can be expected to improve for the outing, but have more to do in this, so the vote goes to Only If I Laugh, who shaped with promise on his debut at Lingfield and will be suited by the stiffer track here.
