Bonds Conquest was only beaten half-a-length over track and trip last month but BALLYCOE won easily in a higher grade at Kempton on Tuesday and Chris Gordon has had no second thoughts about turning him out again quickly under a penalty. Carobello hasn't raced since his second at Ludlow in October and Our Georgie Girl has an even longer absence to overcome. But Kayflin has twice finished second over hurdles here since the turn of the year and probably worth another try over fences.
