GLOBALISATION tends to run well fresh and he gets the tentative nod after winner at Ffos Las last time over the larger obstacles. Wishicould has been progressing well recently, improving with each start and Bally Gilbert was no match for a runaway winner last time but should give another good account. 1. Globalisation 2. Wishicould 3. Bally Gilbert
