The admirable Pacha Du Polder will have far bigger targets on the agenda than today's contest, and at the age of 12 must prove his race-fitness in the lead up to Cheltenham. Supporters of Road To Rome will have few fears on that score, as he arrives in rude health after three straight rules wins since the turn of the year. He promises to be a tough nut to crack off the front end, although if he does have a slight vulnerability it's on account of the softer racing surface (than Ludlow and Taunton). Therefore, we'll chance the top-rated BALLOTIN for the evergreen David Maxwell who booted home the odds-on winner Shantou Flyer at Kelso on Thursday.
