HILLBILLY BOY recorded a double on the Polytrack last month before finishing a well-beaten second on the Fibresand at Southwell a week ago. Back on this surface, Bill Turner's charge can return to winning ways. By contrast, Misleading Promise scored at Southwell last month but has yet to win in 10 starts on Polytrack and drops back in distance today. Minimee gets first-time headgear applied but Shearian makes more appeal on the back of last week's victory at Kempton.
