Race preview
WYLD BILL doesn't appear to have finished his progression based on his win over C&D earlier in the month when defying an 8lb rise for his Kempton success in December. The five-year-old only went up 2lb and makes plenty of appeal once again. Regal Ulixes shaped as though the run was needed when making his first appearance since Royal Ascot at Newcastle last month. Beylerbeyi has run with plenty of credit in two starts following his Cesarewitch victory underlining his versatility trip wise. He completes the shortlist.
