BANDSMAN looks to have a strong chance of maintaining his unbeaten record over fences by taking this seven runner affair. The selection represents the in form yard of Dan Skelton (9/31) and he can see off Carlos Du Fruitier who is making his chasing debut on this occasion. Watcombe Heights ran well over hurdles last time and can take third on his first start over fences.
