Verdict
BALLYGEARY is a quirky type but he gained a second success here over C&D last week, and is weighted to follow up off a 3 lb higher mark. Saint Polo is feared most starting out for Jack Jones with Pergamon also well in the mix in his bid to extend his winning hurdling sequence to five.

VerdictMade all in 2m Catterick claiming hurdle on final start for Jennie Candlish in March. Very much a mixed bag for new connections, just a fair fourth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (19f, good to firm) last month. Needs to build on it.- 3. Saint PoloJ: Sean BowenT: Jack JonesF: 23-711133

VerdictCompleted a handicap hurdle hat-trick at Sedgefield (17f) in August. Not disgraced when third of 5 at Newton Abbot (17f, good) 19 days ago on his final run for Jennie Candlish. Must enter calculations starting out for another good yard.

VerdictWon 2m maiden hurdle at Worcester last September and in the frame several times after for Olly Murphy. Virtually refused to race on the Flat this summer though so has a bit to prove back hurdling for new yard.- 5. BallygearyJ: Joshua ThompsonT: Mike SowersbyF: 736-53551
