Balleticon has twice only found one too good and is unlikely to be far away again. El Kaldoun landed the odds on Polytrack at Lingfield but the runner-up has been beaten since. Aurello is definitely a newcomer to note as she’s a half-sister to four winners and by leading NH sire Kafy Tara but another filly, FRENCHY DU LARGE, gets the nod. She couldn’t cope with the well-backed L’Incorrigible at Warwick but it was eight lengths back to third Arkyn, who bolted up at Lingfield last week. That form gives her the clear beating of El Kaldoun on these terms. Former pointer Catch The Swallows may need this.
