Verdict
BALLIOL has dropped further down the weights and should be approaching peak fitness now. He may be able to take advantage of the fact that back-to-form Ffos Las winner Bonjour Steve has to carry a penalty. Quantum Dot goes well here so can't be ignored but Dreams Of Glory may need this and Jaganory has become disappointing. The selection's stablemate Noverre To Go won at Brighton in June but has struggled off higher marks since.
