Billy Roberts has been here three times and won twice, both from higher marks than this, and has been narrowly beaten the last twice. Bollin Joan has gained two of her four victories around here and bounced back to her best at Doncaster, where she had Kilbaha Lady almost 5l behind, though has never won from a mark this high. Miss Mumtaz, who won over hurdles in March, was well beaten in a four-runner race at Newmarket last time so the vote goes to MR CARBONATOR. Philip Kirby's charge was beaten less than 2l over a trip too far at Ripon after beaten a neck by subsequent winner Edgar Allan Poe at Carlisle.
