JESSICA HARRINGTON: Drier ground plays significant role as horses run out of skin

Having been first and second with my tips last week, I’m only putting an each-way option up this time around as all four of my weekend runners are appearing for the first time this season and two of them are making their racecourse debuts.

Billboard is a nice Big Bad Bob colt. He’s having his first run and it’s probably going to be a very good juvenile maiden. Hopefully he’ll run a nice race.

Bob Le Beau has changed hands and is having his first run since Dubai. He’ll probably need the race and he’s got 10st. He’s actually waiting to go hurdling for the summer.
