Verdict
BILLYFAIRPLAY changed hands after landing a claimer a fortnight ago and is looking on a decent mark nowdays despite a big weight so can go in again. Tribal Path is 4-31 on the track and was only headed close home over 7f last time so has to be considered. Silk Cravat was close up in the latter race but this looks on the short side as it does for Amazing One, whose only victory in 27 starts came over 7f here. Ticks The Boxes is generally thereabouts over this trip but still looks a few pounds high while Pillar's only all-weather victory in 30 starts came over the minimum trip.
