Verdict

MYSTIFIED has been consistent for his small yard, and can land the spoils here but On My Terms and Ballybanks are likely to find their supporters too. Mystified has a few pounds in hand with Ballybanks, and although he's not been at his best in his recent outings, he's had a very consistent and busy year. Back in the summer he had a run of eight races in which he wasn't out of the first two, either on the flat or over fences. His one success over hurdles came in that spell at Cartmel, albeit over slightly shorter, but he's shown in the past he can get this trip, and he's proved versatile in differing conditions. Ballybanks is lightly raced, and makes his debut for Chris Grant having previously been under the tutellage of Nicky Richards. He's not been seen since January so may need the run, and has to give away a fair chunk of weight too. On My Terms is a former winning Irish pointer, but since moving to Jim Lambe's yard has yet to get his nose in front, although he's run consistently well in defeat, but even Tony McCoy couldn't cajole him to victory last time out. Headgear's worked in the past for Mystified, and we think it can contribute to another success today.
