Lord Ballim makes a quick reappearance after unseating his rider in the early stages here on Wednesday but may have been reeled in by the handicapper and has done all of his winning at Carlisle. West Wizard seems best at Ffos Las but No No Mac has his sights lowered after running in a £16,000 race at Ayr last week. Definite Outcome has changed stables in an attempt to reignite his enthusiasm but is best watched and so is Aminabad. The Fresh Prince is often too keen for his own good but could figure if he settles better, though CHIDSWELL is preferred. Nicky Richards’ novice got outpaced over a shorter trip last time at Kelso having won twice over this distance previously.
