Verdict
Coach Bombay shot up the weights after completing a double on the track in the autumn of last year and though he'd dropped to a lenient mark last week he couldn't quite cope with Honor Oak and has gone back up in the weights. Chillie Billie has won four times on Turf but never in 26 starts on the all-weather and this is his first start over a mile since 2013. He was well beaten by SEEKING TRUTH over 7f here last month and the winner, who is just as effective over this trip and is still well treated despite a 5lb rise, gets the nod. Cresendo has yet to win a race and was a warm order when runner-up to Lily's Prince over 7f last week when Emperor Bob was just behind. He's been tried over a mile previously and failed but should get into the frame. Jessamine's only victory came over 1m2f on this track so she could find this on the short side while Six Silver Lane, who loves the track and trip, will need to run better than he did when last seen in October.
