The short list for this contains Le Bandido, Glacial Gillette, Tip Away and Fibre Optics, and the vote goes to La Bandido. In truth, the betting might provide some stronger clues for you but Fibre Optics, despite the fact that he hasn't built on early promise, has to be considered at this lowly level; Tip Away won a maiden point-top-point in April and has proven that he stays well; and Glacial Gillette holds claims based on an Irish mares-only maiden. All this said, La Bandido is the highest rated of these and her overall form, including when second to Cullian at Worcester two runs ago, makes her the form choice and, accordingly, she is the selection.
