Bally poised to follow up “Faugh-A-Ballagh”

ROYAL ASCOT is over for another year but the serious pursuit of winners continues and there are one or two tasty propositions on offer today.

Bally Hall is not remotely in the class of Dubai Destination or Nayef, but the layers will dip into their pockets just the same if he wins the ibetX.com Betting Exchange Stakes (Showcase Handicap) at Nottingham.

Gerard Butler’s three-year-old showed little in four starts as a juvenile but has perked up considerably this year when running over the right trip and on the right ground, and there is every reason to suppose he can add to his two victories so far.
