      Verdict

      Silly Billy won at Wolverhampton last month and has been beaten in better company in a couple of starts since. Luke Rowe's 7lb claim gives him an equal chance with BETTER SELF at the weights, but the latter beat him fair and square over C&D last month and the same outcome is expected here. The selection also has the beating of Fifth In Line on collateral form with May's Boy and David Flood's charge seems better over 6f anyway. Lynchpin and Hey Mambo are hard to fancy on today's terms and are easy to dismiss.
