Ballyfarsoon’s form figures don’t lie as he’s very consistent and deserves a change of luck. Should he find one too good again it’s likely to be an unexposed type like Loveherandleaveher, having only a second run under Rules having been too keen at Newbury at the start of the year, or Reve, who was second at Southwell last month, as General Allenby was the first beaten at Warwick in October. CHEZ HANS showed plenty of promise at Uttoxeter and this extra half-mile can see him make enough progress to land this.
