In depth
Verdict
Silly Billy easily landed a claimer here last month before runner-up in a Wolverhampton handicap. He's very consistent and looks sure to get involved. The veteran Camerooney was conceding 5lb when beating him narrowly in a Musselburgh seller in October and looks weighted to confirm the form. Dansili Dutch completed a double at Wolverhampton last month but failed to handle a big weight rise on her hat-trick attempt and has never won here. Bitaphon has won twice here including over 7f last month then he failed to last out over 1m1f at Wolverhampton. UNCLE BRIT needs a strong gallop which he should get here. He finished with a flourish in a slightly better race here last time and looks ready to win again.
