Verdict

BANTAM's second to Stephanie Frances in a Listed race at Cheltenham in April is the stand-out form in this. She was beaten at long odds-on here in June but should be capable of taking care of this bunch. Irondale Express, second at Worcester last month, is improving and looks the one for forecast-backers as none of the others have shown a great deal so far, though Jumpandtravel did win a point-to-point in the spring.
