Verdict

It's difficult to look beyond BALCO COASTAL, who made an impressive start over hurdles at Huntingdon and is brimming with potential. Iontach Cheval proved that his bumper success was no flash in the pan when scoring on his hurdling bow at Uttoxeter and Alastair Ralph's charge is second choice ahead of Frere d'Armes, who is one to note in the betting on Rules debut, and Hard Frost.

  1. BALCO COASTAL (FR)
