Verdict
BILLY NO MATES won this off today’s mark back in 2020. A runner-up in soft ground at Thirsk last time, he looks set to make another bold bid. Black Kalanisi’s success at Goodwood last season came over 2m while Zillion’s earlier double came in Class 6 company and Daaris would prefer faster going. Lucky's Dream has been in the mix at Newcastle lately but hasn’t won on Turf since 2019.
