BALLYANDY’s only win over fences so far came on this track. He won twice off higher marks over hurdles last season so could take all the beating if handling a belated return to the larger obstacles. Jerrysback won a Listed chase at Uttoxeter in June but is 10lb higher on his return to action. Bavington Bob did nothing but improve last season but also looks high enough in the weights on his return and Gevrey has only won at Fairyhouse so far with stable companion Quantum Realm looking a bigger danger on his form here over the summer. Golden Taipan was engaged in the 3.35 Warwick yesterday.
