A very competitive opener. TOP OF THE BILL's tendency to make the odd mistake means he isn't one for maximum faith but he's talented enough to win races from his mark and gets the nod now stepping up to 3m for the first time. Paricolor is 2 lb below the mark he won off at a similar time last year and is much respected on the back of a good reappearance at Ffos Las. Last year's winner Take Your Time, who could revive after wind surgery, and course chase scorer Pats Fancy also make the shortlist.
