It could be worth siding with BALLYARE, who did well to finish as close as he did when fifth at Newcastle last time and he's edged back down to the mark off which he hit the target at Chester during the summer. Muscika did little wrong when third over this C&D recently and should be bang there once more, while Laheg and Intervention are others to consider.
