Verdict
Broughtons Bandit was sent to Perth to record his first victory over timber and did so in comfortable fashion but this is slightly tougher. Dual winning point-to-pointer COUSIN BILL ran well when runner-up over hurdles at Down Royal but was beaten a long way over fences here last time. Reverting to timber looks the best option and he's handed the vote. Camillas Wish had been running poorly before a much better effort at Towcester in May and a similar run would see her in the frame but Personal Shopper wasn't at her best at Sligo on Sunday. Abarta seems better over fences these days.
