Formscan - With a lack of recent winning form to call upon, Arranmore could go well for Micky Hammond after the nine-year-old won this last season by a head. He drops back into this grade and might prove the biggest danger to BALQAA, who finished fourth when failing to see out 1m4f at Pontefract but is a past C&D winner. Wicklow Way's sole win was here in March and he could make a challenge for the places.
