BALLYHOME loves it here and is back over fences after a promising pipe-opener over hurdles. He’s won his last two over the course and distance and can land the day’s feature with Liam Harrison reducing his burden by 5lb. Lord Bryan will have his ground but hasn’t raced since December. Deyrann de Carjac rather flattered to deceive last time at Warwick but drops a grade for this and the longer trip will suit while Monty's Award was a winner here in April. Getareason has done well for Rebecca Menzies while Cracking Destiny is well treated but remains out of sorts.
