Formscan  - Nick Alexander enjoyed a hat-trick of winners at the corresponding fixture last year and, with that in mind, BALLYFORT could be worth chancing on his first start since undergoing wind surgery. Potentially well placed to exploit a lenient rating, it would come as no surprise to see the son of Fame And Glory go one better than the second-placed finish he registered over C&D on his penultimate start. Royal Rhythm is feared most after his runner-up effort at Wetherby, while Vampire Slayer and Mix De Gris are other strong contenders.
