Few of these make much appeal, though it will be interesting to see if there's any money for the lightly-raced Jumby Bay after a long lay-off. Balnagore is back over hurdles after failing to complete in four of his last six starts over fences while Kingdom Of Munster was placed a couple of times in novice events last winter and is dropped in grade on his return. Inoogoo went close here in April and should be thereabouts and Cool Baranca won at Wetherby and Cartmel over the summer. But we'll give a tentative vote to BENMADIGAN, who may have found the ground too testing over 2m4f at Carlisle last month and is now 6lb lower than his last winning mark.
