Although no match for the winner, Ballydisco posted a respectable second on his stable/seasonal bow at Uttoxeter. The nine-year-old is entitled to build on that comeback effort and merits consideration, but it could be worth chancing GALWAY REEL. Although Ian Williams' gelding failed to complete on his latest start over timber at Uttoxeter, a return to the C&D of his last triumph may work the oracle. Huckleberry Sting and Friends Don't Ask are other key players.
Consistent top weight Ballydisco is entitled to come on for his latest run where he was only beaten by a well handicapped rival on his return from a long lay off. He's proven himself versatile ground wise but he is yet to win over fences and has thrown away plenty of good opportunities. GALWAY REEL is another with a poor strike rate but the C&D winner is on a dangerous mark and was in good form until the race came too soon last time. He can defeat the largely consistent Friends Don't Ask who will also enjoy the quick surface.
