In depth

Verdict

None of these inspire confidence. Highjacked ended last year with a string of placed efforts and could be in the mix on his return but BILLY WEDGE gets a token vote. Still without a win on Turf, he scored at Newcastle in February and has run well again at the same track since. Highland Acclaim won off a higher mark at Catterick last summer, though it was heavy going on that occasion, while Billy Dylan slides further down the weights.
