BALLEE did plenty wrong but still managed to show improved form when opening his account in a C&D novice 2 weeks ago, marking himself down as a potentially useful prospect. He earns the vote to concede weight all round and make it 2-3 in this sphere. Larchmont Lass was useful in bumpers and she can emerge as the chief danger, with Jamaicaine, Coastal Rock and Baskerville others to note.
