      Verdict

      Il Bandito won at Newcastle in October and over this course and distance last month where he appeared to enjoy the easier ground conditions. He's up 4lb while ACTION HERO is just 3lb higher after making most and battling back at Catterick, also on ground with some give. The latter just gets the nod though Fools Rush In ended the last campaign scoring at Kempton in November but Two Cop Bop has never raced beyond 6f.
