Verdict

KILVERGAN BOY doesn't have a great strike rate and was well beaten at Newton Abbot last time after landing a gamble at Perth, but he stays well and did win on heavy ground between the flags in his younger days. He should take all the beating in this as it's hard to fancy Tom Bach on recent efforts and both Billybo and Mr Robinson lack a recent run. The former looks the danger if fully wound-up as the latter is still a maiden and may require better conditions.
