Few of these runners hold any real secrets from the handicapper with the exception of BANFF. He was placed on the Flat in Ireland on a couple of occasions for John Joseph Murphy, but arrived at the yard of Olly Murphy largely out of form. However, he showed that the fire still burns brightly when a 6L runner up to stablemate Gold Class over hurdles at Market Rasen earlier in the month, and racing from a mark of just 47 back on the Flat, he could prove thrown in against largely exposed rivals.
