Verdict

Time Bandit will have his supporters but preference is for another chase debutant in Los Suenos. Goforthegap and Gunship are others to bear in mind. Time Bandit may well reward his connections' patience but he has plenty to prove although he'll be all the better for his return over an inadequate trip. The selection hasn't achieved a great deal over hurdles and disappointed last time when at the head of the market. However, this one is bred for chasing and it would be no surprise to see him step up considerably on his form over timber. Gunship has won over course and distance and shaped a little better last time whilst Goforthegap could be in the mix if handling the ground. Phareight Dei battled on gamely to win at Warwick but he's far from certain to produce a similar performance and has a penalty to contend with. Shannons Boy was nibbled at in the market last time and isn't dismissed but preference is for Los Suenos.
