Balboa
Made the most of a reduced mark when justifying support and gaining a first win since 2023 when scoring at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; remains well treated on past form back up 6lb and likely to be in the mix again.

From the connections
“It's taken a while for the penny to drop. Balboa has had two runs but he still had a look at the first (hurdle). We got a bit of good fortune with the non-runners but that's racing and you've got to kick the ball when it's in front of you. He's ok and he's solid, he seems to handle the soft ground. We might turn up at the Cheltenham meeting in November, although we do have some higher rated who could go there. Milton Harris, trainer”
