Formscan - BETTY BALOO is arguably the most consistent of these and has every chance of following up last year's success, despite racing off a 5lb higher mark. She chased home a subsequent winner on her only outing since, over hurdles at this venue, and the 336-day layoff isn't too much of a concern as she tends to run well fresh. Cerendipity looks an obvious danger following his Bangor triumph, while Risk And Roll's latest Ascot effort gives him a squeak.
