Verdict

Verdict

BALLYCAMUS has won on his last two C&D appearances including when last seen in December and this has likely been the plan since that display. The handicapper only raised him 1lb for that success and he makes plenty of appeal once again. Minella Blueway should be suited by going this way round having jumped to his right when runner-up at Plumpton. Aboutdamntime and Beachcomber complete the shortlist.

Top Tip: Ballycamus (2)
Watch out for: Minella Blueway (4)
