Hillview stands clearly ahead of this field on form and brings a rating comfortably clear of the chasing pack, with Present Fair the most credible danger on the strength of his own figures, closely followed by Camino Rocio and Scottish Dancer. The trip of twenty-three furlongs on good ground at Bangor-on-Dee should suit Hillview's profile, and nothing in the remainder of the field appears to have the quality to mount a sustained challenge. Our selection is Hillview.
