In depth
Verdict
Ballyart jumped poorly on his debut over fences at Kempton and is now 0-7 under Rules. Though he’s won between the flags, he may not be one on which to take too short a price. Day Of Roses is only 2lb higher than when second over course and distance in August with a subsequent run at Uttoxeter probably coming too soon. Itsamanslife went backwards after winning at Huntingdon in January but has had a break. Winning pointer Max O has shown the expected improvement since going chasing abut soft going suits ONURBIKE, who can make a winning return to action.
