Verdict
The thriving Bandey yard has placed GIVE ME A MOMEMT to great effect with the gelding landing five of his last seven starts. He reverted to hurdling at Worcester last month and scored with something to spare and will almost certainly prove better over this longer trip. He does concede 7lb to Maxcel, who rates the danger on the back of a pleasing debut when hunting up Nibras Gold at Newton Abbot. A bumper winner, he is going the right way. Ike Sport was seven and a half lengths adrift of the selection at Worcester and is likely to get closer on 7lb better terms without reversing placings. The remainder must improve considerably.
