Fu Fu rallied to score at Fontwell and is worth another try over this slightly longer trip but BALLYBREEN has been in fine form over fences and loves the mud. He can race off the same mark back over hurdles and a visor is added to aid concentration. Costante Via didn’t get far at Sedgefield last month and is now 0-10 over timber and the others are even harder to recommend.
