Verdict

BILLY DYLAN ran a fair race when contesting a Group 2 contest at Royal Ascot last time out and this drop in grade and return to the softer surface predicted here can see him register a victory under a penalty here. Of the selections rivals Knockout Blow has run well in two of his three starts to date and is likely to race prominently as is Demons Rock who ran well on good-to-soft ground on his penultimate outing.
  1. Billy Dylan
  2. Knockout Blow
  3. Demons Rock
