Verdict

BILLECART could be smart and is selected to take the step up in class in his stride on the back of his easy C&D novice success last month. Andab has a 3 lb penalty for his listed success last autumn but is still feared most ahead of Timeforshowcasing, who possesses the physical scope to think she could make an even better 3-y-o.

1	Ended his 2-y-o campaign with an all-weather listed success over 7f at Dundalk in October. Bettered that form when only narrowly denied in a local Group 2 at Doha (1m, firm) on his reappearance in February. Likely to go well despite his penalty. 2nd Pick 1 Andab (Ire) Jockey: Billy Loughnane Trainer: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland J: Billy Loughnane T: Joseph Patrick O'brien, Ireland	100	-	-	-	46%

7	Useful 2-y-o, including fifth in the Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster over 1m. Ended her season with a win in a valuable series final over 7f at Goodwood in October. Has plenty of scope so should make at least as good a 3-y-o. 3rd Pick 7 Timeforshowcasing Jockey: Callum Shepherd Trainer: Charlie Johnston J: Callum Shepherd T: Charlie Johnston	96	-	-	-	4%
