Race preview
WILLYORWON'T HE bumped into the well-handicapped Air To Air on his most recent start at Doncaster but showcased plenty of his own potential, ending up well on top of the rest of the field, and he looks a potential improver now he moves up in trip. He looks the best option in this Class 4 event, with the booking of Adam Kirby on Wimpole Hall catching the eye and making him an appealing alternative. Hotspur Harry may do better having been caught wide last time.
