Les Eyre would be a very rare visitor from his Yorkshire base so the presence of the three-year-old Birkenhead, a winner at Lingfield in November, has to be of interest. Billyfairplay was caught on the line over 7f at Wolverhampton and has won over the course and distance while Danz Gift has won six times around here and has dropped to a very lowly mark. He finished last behind Enough Said on his penultimate start but the latter didn't perform anywhere near as well behind shock winner Red Cymbal a month ago when Nigg Bay was a close third. The latter is weighted to gain revenge but the vote goes to SABRINA FAIRCHILD (NAP). She's better over an extra furlong but has had excuses in her recent races and Wayne Lordan takes over from an apprentice.
