        Verdict

        This is not a strong field and The Bandit might be worth siding with, with Lincoln Place and Downtherefordancin others to consider in a tricky event. The selection has shown promise for Emma Lavelle and, as a rule, her horses progress. So in a tricky and modest-looking event, he looks to have as good a chance as any. Winning chaser Lincoln Place is put back over hurdles after falling last time and has form enough to go well, while Downtherefordancin', although no world beater, should put up a good show from the front. Annie Byers and the Robert Alner pair, Glacial Evening and Roman Court are among others that could go well, but we'll side with The Bandit.
