Four times a winner on the Flat in the UK, BANDAMA has faced better opposition over timber than he meets here and though no world-beater this is a poor event. Winning bumper Hepahepa Naeney has produced the occasional decent run over timber and must rate a threat while successful point-to-pointers Drain Hopper, Besties Babe, Coolavanny Gaffer and Lets Go Sunshine should be capable of better and the former has already shown ability over timber.
