Market support behind the returning BALLYBAYMOONSHINER (5) would enhance confidence. Rates a main selection having scored twice on the AW last winter. Can get this run-to-suit from stall one. POETIC JACK (10) will have to defy stall fourteen but cannot be left out of calculations after his smooth victory tackling this trip at Lingfield AW earlier in the month. Recent Kempton (6f) runner-up SMASHER (1) is also poorly drawn in gate fifteen. Needs to be included based on form. BIG BARD (3) might feature.
