Ballyvoneen has been placed in a couple of amateur rider events off similar marks of late. He should be thereabouts but CHEAT THE CHEATER is preferred. The latter has shown improved form recently for his tumble down the weights including a second over these fences and Claire Dyson's charge looks set to strike. The lightly-raced Raid Stane showed his first form over fences with a fourth at Ffos Las recently and makes more appeal than Ya Hafed of the remainder.
