Centreofexcellence was on a roll in the autumn but has been rested since November and doesn’t have a great record when running fresh. ALLTIMEGOLD has been getting closer and, with this big drop in trip not certain to suit Kilmoganny, Tim Vaughan’s gelding may well get his head in front for the first time if handling the quicker surface. Babytaggle has won a point-to-point but is 0-16 under Rules and has only made the frame on four occasions.
