Forecasts

Banditry (5/4), Excellent Team (4/1), Peruvien Bleu (13/2), Captain Felix (7/1), King Alfonso (14/1), Shinghari (14/1), New Millennium (25/1), Quids In (25/1), Lord Fendale (25/1), Dollar And A Dream (50/1), Polished Rock (50/1), Dalmarella Dancer (100/1)

Plenty of these are either high enough in the weights or are out of form, but the notable exception is BANDITRY, a decent performer on the Flat who won cosily over hurdles last time. It will be disappointing if he cannot defy this handicap mark. Quids Inn did well during his debut season over hurdles and can chase him home, while Captain Felix won last time and can figure again. Peruvien Bleu is not out of it despite top weight, King Alfonso is respected on his return to timber, New Millennium needs to show big improvement for his leading yard, but may do so, and Shinghari is worth a check in the betting.
