Loch Garman Aris was in fine form at Bangor in the spring but may need this. This is Ballybreen’s time of year and he’s starting to slip down the ratings again but it’s about time IVILNOBLE was getting his head back in front and he was second off this mark at Fontwell on Boxing Day. Felton Bellevue has only found one too good the last twice, including once here, and Jerminnie Green was stopped in her tracks by a blunder at Warwick after scoring at Chepstow and could figure. Shah An Shah is another to consider if jumping better than at Huntingdon but Family Pot looks a Ludlow specialist.
