Verdict

All of these step up in distance but NAPPER TANDY’s half-sister and stablemate Lorelina won twice over today’s trip and Andrew Balding’s colt looks likely to improve further having beaten a subsequent winner at Kempton last time. Lochnaver’s pedigree suggests she’ll also last home after finishing runner-up over a mile while Bandinelli returned a losing favourite at Newcastle over 1m2f on his debut but is a half-brother to dual Group 1 winner Old Persian and makes more appeal than Carnival Craft.
