In depth
Verdict
Collier Hill has improved for a step up in trip and was a comfortable winner of a similar heat at Ayr (Party Ploy held) late last month. There should be more to come from this unexposed type despite a 2lb penalty. Lapadar will appreciate the cut in the ground and came back to form when upsetting a hotpot at Musselburgh last time while Ringside Jack has been crying out for this step up in trip and can't be discounted.
