HICKORY LAD was second in an above-average looking Lily Agnes at Chester a month ago and with the way he stuck to his task that day, 6f promises to suit. He's marginally preferred to Possessive, who arguably has the most scope to improve of these. Of the rest, Wild Terrain also has a bigger effort in him.

About The Selections
Ross Millar
Hickory Lad He arrives with plenty of experience and has shown good form every time, finishing strongly over five furlongs on each occasion for form figures of 212. The step up to six furlongs can bring more improvement, while his natural early speed should suit this fast test.
Alex Scott
Possessive Made a really smart impression on debut at York and he still didn't do everything right, open to improvement on his second start for his powerful connections.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: Of those forecasted with a better chance, Alpe D'huez could be most vulnerable in a race in which competition for the lead looks to be fierce: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and Dandyman Dan is one who may benefit from being produced later.
