In depth
Verdict
YOUR BAND was lightly raced last season but showed he retains plenty of ability when a close fourth off this mark at Wincanton in April. Trip and going this evening are ideal and he can land a modest opener getting weight from My Bobby Dazzler, who had only three rivals in a maiden here four weeks ago. Falberto has been doing his winning in claimers and sellers but may be more forward than the returning Cousin Oscar.
