Peachey Moment was receiving plenty of weight when beating Cottage Acre over a longer trip at Perth last month. The roles are reversed here and Nicky Richards' six-year-old looks vulnerable under his welter burden. BALLABROOK will also have plenty of lead attached to his saddle but has been thriving on this fast ground of late and can complete the hat-trick after wins in minor events at Towcester and Wincanton. Sheriff Hall fell when favourite at Perth last month but warrants respect on his consistent form earlier and makes more appeal than Sedgefield scorer Tranos, who is 12lb higher now.
