        Verdict

        The Andrew Balding team have been in irresistible form of late and the ease in grade may be just what is required to reverse the fortunes of Ballinger Ridge. The Hughie Morrison-trained Pango can scrap it out with Tarafah and Redspin for the minor honours. However, Ballinger Ridge, who is set to be partnered by Kieren Fallon, may just have needed her first two outings this season and will be a different proposition in this grade. Redspin showed improvement at Nottingham at the start of the month, but will need to continue the progression with Ballinger Ridge in the field.
