BALLYADAM looked an exciting prospect when off the mark at the second attempt in bumpers at Downpatrick in March, ridden more positively than on debut and drawing clear impressively. He's a useful prospect now hurdling and earns the vote. He's A Hardy Bloke and Colonel Mustard were similarly impressive in bumpers and are respected, along with Still Standing who boasts experience over hurdles.
