        Verdict

        The Bajan Bandit, Fadalko and Crystal Gift look the ones to cocentrate on in this competitive affair and the tentative vote goes to The Bajan Bandit. The gelding from the Len Lungo yard shaped as if in need of the run when pulled up last time. He is sure to strip fitter here and with the drop in distance sure to suit he looks a sporting bet. Fadalko rates the main danger, he is from an yard that is in top form and although he has top weight he is well in on his best chase form and must be noted in the market. Crystal Gift has drooped to a handy mark and is another that could go well under conditions that suit. Of the remainder Totally Scottish is another that will like the ground and with his promising jockey taking off a handy 10lb he will not be far away but in a wide open affair we will side with The Bajan Bandit who was classy at his best.
