Formscan - BALLYCAMUS certainly has conditions in his favour and should go well if transferring his solid Ludlow form to this track, and he ought to as a former course scorer. The first-time cheekpieces also make him of interest and he gets the nod ahead of Elysian Knight, who is back in handicap company with a big shout on his Musselburgh form. King Turgeon and Makin'yourmindup can also have a say.
