Hollywood Road has only been beaten narrowly in three recent starts but keeps going up in the weights and has yet to win a race. WINGS OF ESTEEM scored at Southwell in February and was only caught in the dying stages over this trip at Yarmouth a month ago so gets the nod to go one better. The Gay Cavalier pops up every now and then as he did in a better class race at Epsom and though 5lb higher his regular pilot can use her claim. Marshal Dan Troop won on heavy going last season and any rain would aid his cause as it would Kismet Hardy, whose only victory came on soft ground at Salisbury. Trulee Scrumptious likes this track and scored over a mile a fortnight ago but couldn't keep up the gallop at Yarmouth on Wednesday. She's won over the distance here and with her young rider able to claim 7lb she could bounce back.
