I liked the run of Solid Billing last week.

Went out to a 5 length lead early from barrier 16 and did well to only get beaten 4 lengths.

Will be rock hard fit and has drawn barrier 4 which should give Wilkinson many options to get a cosy run.

If he can sit off the speed and stay the trip, looks a reasonable each way prop.

Tinseltown has failed twice at the distance so is a real query as favourite.

Sand Hawk and Court Ruler appear to be out of form and I'm not convinced of the staying credentials of many others.

Can the old boy Lang get the chocolates?? This and more shall be revealed in another exciting episode of.........Saturday's Punting......


Best of luck to all.
