DOUBLE BANK's second to Double Dash here last month, when Bermuda Boy was pulled up, was a decent effort. He has won under Rules and scored by 30 lengths between the flags recently so could be a better bet than Hector's Choice and No Loose Change. The latter pair have the better overall form but neither has seen action lately so are possibly best watched. Recent points winner Parkam Jack appears the pick of Kayley Woollacott's pair and could sneak into the frame if a couple of the others are below their best.
