Calcutta: Trainer Vijay Singh Ballantyne may be hard to toss in the 1,600m Ramkirpal Cup, Wednesday’s main attraction in the six-event card. With blinkers having boosted his performance the Flitch son may be hard to stop against the likes of Arctic Forces, King Of Dances and Strauss who do not seem to be any match for Ballantyne. Christopher Alford, who partners the five-year-old, may again find himself among winners, having booted home five last week.

Trainer Bharath’s Singh’s Silencio and Vijay’s Agent Archie may keep Alford’s tally ticking during the afternoon. Silencio is looking much improved since her last run while Agent Archie is out to make amends for his costly failure.Read as: Sl. nos, last 4 runs, horse name, trainer, jockey, weight & draw:
