BALLEE showed plenty of ability over hurdles last season, including when shaping best in a big-field handicap at Aintree in the spring and, with his final run at Haydock easily excused, he's an appealing candidate returning with his yard firmly amongst the winners. Unbeaten hurdler Queens Gamble has an 11-month absence to overcome but her opening BHA mark could easily underestimate her, while Our Champ won in a good time at Ascot and completes the shortlist.
