In depth
Verdict
Ballybreen simply hasn’t fired this season but is back on a winning mark. Exod'ela is another who has plummeted down the weights but it’s difficult to see him reversing Plumpton running earlier in the campaign with WIGGLESWORTH, who doesn’t look straightforward but has placed the last twice. Big Difference is preferred to Eclair On Line and Eaton Miller of the others.
