Verdict
The Grey Taylor carries a double penalty having landed a double over track and trip last month. But BALLYBOLLEY is just preferred on today's terms given he had a subsequent winner back in third when winning a higher grade contest at Aintree three weeks ago and he gets the vote. A Boy Named Suzi made a promising start over hurdles at Huntingdon and Dan Emmet won over 2m on the Flat in August and goes hurdling for the first time here. Rock A Doodle Doo finished third behind The Grey Taylor last time but re-opposes on much better terms in this.
