El Bandindos can land the opener at the expense of Mole's Chamber and Mag Num. The selection comes form the in form yard of David Pipe and caught the eye when second to Gentle John at Chepstow last month. He was not beaten far that day and with further improvement still to come he is sure to take all the beating in what looks like his easiest task to date. Mole's Chamber showed his true potential around here last time out when second to Ingratitude. His form had been a little hit and miss but if putting his best foot forward then he can give the selection a run for his money. Mag Num ran well to finish second at Bangor last time out and still looks unexposed. The stable are starting to fire once again so any market moves should be noted. But for the winner we return to El Bandindos.
