Theology posted a better effort at York last time having slipped down the weights and there was some cut in the ground when Shelford scored over 1m6f at Yarmouth. But BALLINDERRY BOY is the one to side with as he beat Man Of Plenty and Presto Volante when scoring at Ascot earlier this month and looks capable of landing his hat-trick in this. Secret Edge is a winner without a penalty having landed an apprentices' race at Newbury last week and is preferred to the lightly-raced Silent Movie.
