BANDON ROC was well backed to take a conditionals’ race at Taunton last week and won with plenty in hand. The penny may have dropped and, as he escapes a penalty, and with his stable in better form again, Kim Bailey’s six-year-old is fancied to follow up here. Kid Kalanisi has won over similar trips at Fontwell and Plumpton recently but is creeping up the weights. Just Joelliott won in a tongue-tie at Ludlow when Alberto's Dream was fourth while Giveitachance can never be ignored around here.
