Verdict

A poor seller but BILLY DYLAN comes out best at the weights and David O’Meara’s charge can take advantage. Desert Ace finished well ahead of Robot Boy when placed at Pontefract earlier but has something to find with Longroom on these terms as the latter drops down in class with an apprentice’s allowance further helping his cause. Rated only 33, Raise A Billion looks to have an impossible task on his reappearance.
