This could turn out to be a decent race over just shy of 2 miles and 4 furlongs on Heavy Going. There are some exposed

types in here, some potentially progressive types and a few who frankly "could be anything". I want to take on favourite Quids In based in

the lack of proven stamina on this Going. Better options I think are BILLY HICKS and MOLLY CAREW.

BILLY HICKS is a Course and Distance winner last March off a mark of 108; a horse it beat in that race (Hills Of Dubai) has since won off

marks of 109 and 116 for Donal McCain so the form looks solid. The Trainer comes down for a pop at a nice race and the recent run should

see it spot on, they think it will make a nice 3 mile Chaser in time, so I have no concerns re weight carrying or the trip. MOLLY CAREW comes

from a Yard finding some form, and a nice 33/1 in to 10/1 pop for us yesterday. Has won over 2 miles in Heavy and has proven stamina;

did not do quite as well last time but the form of the previous race at Lingfield looks strong with 2 horses MC beat coming out in the past

few days to win being Ballyheigue Boy and Ardmayle, that looks strong too and I have no qualms about 2 horses at 6/1 each way with

Odds to 4th looking for a profit on the race overall.

Dangers are everywhere; Daisy De Sivola could be anything, Quiz Master has no form over trip or in Going but Tizzards are starting to motor;

Vaigo De Vaige could also be anything from the Hobbs Yard also starting finally to stir and the likes of Rafafie and With Pleasure have

enough Course form to make them dangers too. IF you want a real small stake dab on something at a big price; the 25-33/1 for MOUNTAINS

OF MORNE looks right on current form but look back at 2 best runs, Jan 17 here off 108 and Nov 15 off 111; runs off a mark of 97 here;

may be gone, but the Jockey booking indicates, they may just go for a run from the front and in heavy Going IF its a going day and they

get fractions right, could give you a lot of fun for a long way.
