Verdict

Second to a useful prospect at Newmarket last time, BALLISTY is fancied to go one better. The competition for the minors looks wide open but perhaps Alpha Legend can bounce back in a first-time tongue strap.

1	Eighth on debut in a Leicester maiden (race has produced several winners), he didn't see out his race in a similar event Doncaster subsequently but is worth another chance in a first-time tongue strap over a longer trip. 2nd Pick 1 Alpha Legend (Ire) Jockey: Marco Ghiani Trainer: Marco Botti J: Marco Ghiani T: Marco Botti	95	-	-	-	8%

3	Went backwards from a solid third at Kempton when a well-held eighth (behind Ballisty) at Newmarket, though this is hardly a strong race, and he cannot be discounted if building on his debut at the second attempt. 3rd Pick 3 Duidin (Ire) Jockey: Oisin James Orr Trainer: John Butler J: Oisin James Orr T: John Butler	93	-	-	-	19%
