Bernard Llewellyn is obviously intent on taking this prize back to Caerphilly but there is a question mark about all four of his challengers with none of the quartet yet to oblige on the forecast heavy ground. James Pollard makes the greatest appeal from a form perspective but his best performances have all been delivered under far quicker conditions. Sweet World's ability to handle soft ground earmarks her as a more viable contender. The choice is HAMILTON HILL who cantered home over C&D earlier in the month before struggling in a better Salisbury contest over a quarter-mile further. Back down in both grade and distance, he can get back on the winning trail.
