Bollin Neil won four times last year but today’s going will be fast enough for him and he finished a long way behind GOLD RING when the latter scored over today’s trip at Catterick. Neil Mechie’s new charge left last year’s form behind on his first start both over the distance and on Turf and there should be more to come. Wor Willie won over track and trip last summer while Leopolds Rock scored over a shorter distance at Newcastle recently and Termonator is another upped in trip having placed again at Beverley last time.
