Formscan - Ballygeary was winning for the first time since 2024 when scoring over C&D last week. He remains on a winnable mark, despite a 3lb rise, but PERGAMON looks the safer option. The winner of his last four starts over hurdles, Jennie Candlish's charge scored with plenty left in the tank at Sedgefield last time and a 4lb rise looks manageable. Saint Polo is marginally preferred to Pigeon House of the remainder.
