Modeligo took advantage off a drop down the weights to get back to winning ways at Chepstow five weeks ago but he’s been raised 6lb for that and also steps up a grade for this. BALLYCOE won at Plumpton and Bangor around this time last year and his only poor run since came on very soft ground at Sandown. Dropped 3lb since his third at Kempton, this looks a good opportunity to get back on track. Strongly Suggested was in dire form in the autumn and returns from a break while Guanciale may also need this and is high enough in the weights at present. Dr Dunraven is tried in cheekpieces but the aids would need to spark massive improvement.
