Formscan  - LADY BALKO won this 12 months ago and, following her comeback spin around Cheltenham, this has probably been the plan all year. David Pipe's mare might represent some really good value if she strips fitter. Theonewedreamof is of obvious interest given her recent form and top connections. Minniemum should be thereabouts and, like the selection, Kosasiempre is a track-and-trip winner to bear in mind.
