GREAT BALLS O'FIRE found the step up to Group company a bit too much, certainly at this stage of his career but he'd impressed when making a winning debut with a bit to spare at Newmarket in August and is fancied to be seen to much better effect back in calmer waters. Val de Grey and Benbecula may emerge as the chief dangers to Richard Spencer's colt.
