Formscan - With three wins and two second-placed efforts from six starts since early January, Lady Balko has undoubtedly held her form well and commands respect, despite now finding herself on a 30lb higher mark than since the turn of the year. However, she may be vulnerable off her current perch and she is taken on with TEQUILA BLAZE, who can get competitive off a handy rating. With trip and ground to suit, Fergal O'Brien's wily 10-year-old tends to go well for Tom Broughton, whose 5lb claim is a further boost for the selection. Molto Bene completes the shortlist.
