      Verdict

      Going right-handed and dropping back to his winning trip should suit BALAGAN and he is fancied to get the better of Rhosneigr, who is stepping up from 2m and would have preferred more give in the ground. Art Approval showed little on the Flat in France and has been out of action for more than a year so is best watched.
