BALLYKEEL has shaped well on each of his 3 starts over fences, notably so at Thurles 11 days ago, and he makes plenty of appeal switched to handicaps for the first time. His stablemate Arctic Ambition is open to further improvement back over fences and Gateau de Miel is respected back in handicap company having readily opened his account in a novice at Fairyhouse last time.
