Someone Exciting is penalised for beating Steelriver at Catterick a week ago though won last year’s renewal off today’s mark and should be thereabouts once again. But FOX HILL looks set to take advantage of a slide down the weights after going close at Thirsk last week and Eric Alston’s filly gets the nod. Billyoakes has been in decent form the all-weather but it’s a long time since he won on Turf and Mightaswellsmile is preferred on last week’s second at Catterick when finishing in front of Vallarta. War Ensign went close over 5f at Musselburgh and headgear is applied while Dancing Mountain found one too good off today’s mark at Thirsk.
