Verdict

BALLYALTON has every chance on these terms. He went close to catching Aso over course and distance last month and can go one better in this. Deep Trouble has 7lb to find with the selection but should still go well having finished second at Leicester recently. Fairytale Theatre has a similar mark over hurdles to the former and makes her chasing debut while Wings Attract won at Doncaster in November but is penalised for that success. Lockstockandbarrel and Frontline look up against it in this company.
