Verdict

Ballyegan's two course victories last month came over 2m but this is more his trip. He was well beaten last week at Newton Abbot, however, and may be a due a rest - the fast going is also a major concern. Jazz Man has yet to complete over fences and has questions to answer at present while January's Plumpton third Petit Ecuyer has yet to race on ground this quick and still looks a shade high in the weights. Typical Oscar may be suffering from a lack of confidence, though the booking of Tom Scudamore suggests better is expected here. MILLY MALONE didn't handle heavy going here in January and was pulled up. But she showed some ability off similar marks last summer and is fancied to go close in this if fully wound-up.
