KATACHENKO is back below his last winning handicap mark and given how well the yard's runners have been performing in recent weeks, this nine-year-old may have an edge over several of these. Ballyandy is still an exciting prospect despite a couple of disappointments over the larger obstacles last winter. Acdc was improving last year and can't be ruled out if ready to go off an absence here.
