NO REGRETS took time before getting the hang of the chasing game but his last three starts have suggested he'll be a decent handicapper for Nicky Richards. He was only beaten a neck by the re-opposing Lights Are Green here in mid-May and is now 12lb better off. Ballynagran scored over course and distance last time but is impossible to predict and a safer option is Spark Of Madness, who may benefit from the step up in trip. Grange Runner and The Electrician are not the most straightforward but have ability.
