Formscan - 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.
