Verdict
Bajan Bandit won a lower grade contest here last month while Prairie Falcon finished runner-up at Doncaster and is also upped in class. But BUSSENTO found only one too good in this grade at Sandown and looks to have every chance on that form. Man Of Eden drops down in trip after placing at Newmarket and Nails Murphy also returns to 7f while Johnny James is upped in distance for his handicap debut having been recently gelded.
