There was plenty to like about the way PALMERS HILL got off the mark on just his second start over fences on return at Wetherby 5 weeks ago. He clearly hasn't been the easiest to train, but can make light of a 4 lb rise with further improvement on the cards. Sully d'Oc AA is feared most having suffered a shuddering mid-race error at Newbury 3 weeks ago, ahead of Knight In Dubai.
