There were some scorched fingers when BALLYADAM was beaten at long odds-on at Navan. The £330,000 purchase was beaten into third behind Julies Stowaway. Gordon Elliott's charge didn't look at ease on the very heavy ground and compensation awaits here. Yousayitbest, by Doyen out of an unraced mare, is another very expensive purchase after an opening victory at Moig South while Largy Princess ran well at Carlisle before finding heavy ground against her at Ayr. Oscar Thyne may do best of the remainder.
