BALLYELLIS is prolific at this sort of level and gets the nod to make a winning return after 13 months away. Mcgroarty would rate a huge threat if he still retains anything like the ability which saw him win handicap chases off marks in the mid-140s in summer 2019. Ferrobin hasn't been at his best on his last couple of starts but is another who is very capable in this grade.
