Verdict
John Hills has his string firing on all cylinders and a penalty may be no barrier to WHAT ABOUT NOW following up last week's very easy win in a Brighton seller in this slightly better grade. The lightly-raced filly makes more appeal than Thundering Home, though the grey has only been raised 4lb for beating Dancing Primo on soft ground at Yarmouth. Crazy Bold has run well over timber since his C&D second last month and can again finish in front of Sweet World while Penang Cinta has the past form to figure. Dantari should ensure a strong gallop but may just need this after a lay-off.
