LORD BALLIM is the clear form pick based on his success here last time. That followed a strong finish over this longer trip at Towcester and there is no reason to expect his rate of progress to be halted in a race lacking depth. Theatre Act and Age of Glory were second and seventh respectively that day. Of the pair Age of Glory has the most potential to find the extra that is needed. That run was only his third back from an absence and was his second in a twelve day period. That may have come too soon and a subsequent six week break, plus another drop in the weights, will make him more competitive this time. Lowcarr Motion struck form last spring and he is one to gauge in the market.
