LOVE BILLY BOY was just about better than ever when landing a 15-runner handicap at Naas a month ago and with the return to 7f in his favour if anything, the follow-up may well be forthcoming. Fort Vega also arrives in top form, with Transcending Glory one to consider at longer odds.

    10/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Roscommon (7.5f, good) 24 days ago, slowly away. Progressing well recently so needs considering up 2 lb despite fact this is a better race.
