Verdict
Belo Horizonte has improved for the application of cheekpieces but carries a double penalty for winning a couple of classified events. Shabs has placed at this level recently while Adace won a handicap at Windsor last time and is preferred to Twistaline. But THE GREY BANDIT has only had six outings despite his age and having posted his best effort so far when third at Bath last month, John Stimpson’s charge gets the vote.
