BALLYEGAN carries 5lb more than when successful in this 12 months ago but probably faces lesser opposition. He has a won a race this season, at Towcester in December, and is probably the one to beat again. Entry To Evrywhere's jumping let him down at Lingfield last week while Lamb's Cross always seems to find a way of getting beat. Edeiff's Lad is still a maiden under Rules and Beauchamp Viking is best at Towcester but Passing Fiesta may still have time on her side and was in good form over hurdles around this time last year.
