Peter Bowen has won the last two renewals with Ballybough Gorta so must consider Buachaill Alainn is up to the task off his current mark. Chicago Outfit rattled-up a hat-trick at Hexham recently but Green Wizard was not far behind last time and re-opposes on better terms. Pena Dorada scored over track and trip on his latest start and is up 7lb while GREENLAW has been raised the same amount after following an earlier win at Worcester with a cosy victory at Uttoxeter. Charlie Longsdon's charge looks to have more to offer and is worth sticking with in this.
