Formscan  - The vote goes to BALLYFORT, who posted a much improved effort to fill the runner-up spot over 2m here last month, having struggled in a couple of chase starts previously. Nick Alexander's gelding is able to compete from an unchanged mark and, now upped in trip, it would come as no surprise were he to find the necessary improvement. Millyupdahilly goes handicapping from a potentially workable mark and must enter calculations, while Wearelongterm appeals most of the remainder.
