Billyoakes finally took advantage of a slide down the weights and won over track and trip recently. He remains on a winning mark, despite a 3lb rise, while Haraz has been threatening but came up short again over 7f here during the week. GOLD CLUB went close to ending a long losing run when beaten only a head over course and distance last time with Wild Flower back in fourth. An apprentice’s allowance help his cause today and Lee Carter’s charge gets the nod.
