Charlie Hills’ is looking to get PAPA DON’T PREACH off the mark and the import from France is hard to oppose in this company. Beaten only a length in the Group 2 Flying Childers on a trip over to Doncaster in September, he can make a winning debut for his new yard. Lucy Lulu looks no nearer winning and Monsieur Kodi failed to show any progress here last time while Lullaby Bay can only improve on July’s moderate debut effort at Newmarket.
