In depth
Verdict
Broughtons Bandit had Bengal Tiger back in fourth when scoring over C&D in March but looks vulnerable off his current mark and it could pay to stick with DELAGOA BAY. She showed a big improvement to win by six lengths at Wolverhampton last time and can defy a penalty. Waldsee won at Lingfield in January but has looked in the handicapper's grip since though Blackstone Vegas has slipped down the weights and arrives on the back of a close-up second over hurdles. He's preferred to Rodrigo De Freitas who was still beaten a long way when third over track and trip in January.
