Verdict

The form of the Tom Symonds yard is a little concerning but KELLAHEN found only a well-treated one too good on last month's handicap debut at Wetherby and remains unexposed, so he looks capable of defying a penalty back in a novice. Ballyglass wasn't seen to best effect upped in grade at Haydock last time and remains capable of better, especially now returned to a more galloping track. Tapley is also considered a threat having shaped with encouragement first time up over hurdles at Newbury.
