Silly Billy scored at Southwell on Tuesday but seems to prefer the Fibresand, while Royal Envoy was winning for the first time in nearly three years when beating All About You over C&D last time and is 3lb higher today. Gorgeous Goblin went close to losing his maiden tag when runner-up at Lingfield recently with Metropolitan Chief behind, but Royal Acclamation makes more appeal on his latest second over 7f here. However, LITTLE PERISHER gets the nod as he posted his best effort for a while when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and may finally have dropped down to a mark he's capable of winning off these days.
