Dual course and distance winner Ballyglasheen wasn't disgraced against older horses in a handicap at Sedgefield two weeks ago but may struggle to confirm earlier running with AGLAOPHONOS on 6lb worse terms given Ian Williams' charge probably has the greater scope. Refer has struggled since winning at Stratford in August but Brave Helios is interesting having run the more experienced Town Mouse to half-a-length at Huntingdon and he's preferred to Saint Jerome and Maxi Mac, third and fourth behind Ballyglasheen here last month.
