Billyb¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 77

Forecasts

Cliffcake (5/2), Fresh Hope (3/1), Point Lynas (7/2), Jump The Gun (9/2), Billyb (5/1), No Nay Nicki (11/2), Mykonos St John (11/1), Tashgheel (25/1)

FRESH HOPE remains capable of better following her sixth in the Sandringham last time and she can get back on the up here, The filly travelled strongly through the Royal Ascot contest as she finished best of those who raced on her side of the track, so she is taken to resume winning ways with the return to 7f to suit. Cliffcake is feared most, ahead of the bottom-weight Billyb.
