Hello Friend

28/07/15

4.30 Beverley Border Bandit 

Ideal Cond. 8-8.5f, Good to Soft or better, OR80 or below 

Form in Cond. 4,1,7,2,2,1,1,3,1,6,1,1, 2, 3, 5 (0/24, 1 place outside) 

Positives. He was outclassed last time when we left him and he is now 0/5, 0 places in Class 3. Before that he had been running well when getting conditions. Race conditions are all fine here and he is 2/4, 4 places over CD. Back down in grade, and handicapped to go close, we should get a decent run.

Negatives. Well he simply keeps knocking on the door and clearly needs plenty to fall right, which it will do at some point. 

My Verdict. 1 point win 10/1 (general)

Non Qualifiers 

-Windforpower (3.55 Bev) 

-Confessional/Humidor (4.20 Goodwood) - Interesting race..the latter has improved this season beyond his profile. The former is hard to predict but usually runs his race at Haydock in the right conditions. However, he has placed twice here, and in an open race a big run from both wouldnt be a surprise. 

-Mercers Row/Relight My Fire (4.30 Beverley) 

-Opt Out/Uncle Dermot (5.05 Bev) 

-City Ground (5.40 Bev)
