Ballydonagh Boy has found only one too good in his last three starts between the flags but is 0-10 under Rules. Inviction was still travelling when falling at Overton last month in the race won by Torngat but his completion rate recently leaves something to be desired. BARON BRIGGS, partnered by the capable Lyall Hodgins, can make all on his debut over fences.
