A few with chances, but BALLYBEEN went strongly for a long way when fourth over 2m7f at Bangor last time and is fancied to benefit from this slightly shorter trip and open his account. Dariya is feared most on the back of her ready Huntingdon success, although handicap-debutant Ernie Bilko is worth considering too, especially if there's a market move in his favour.
