BANDON ROC won easily over this trip at Taunton earlier this month and followed up over further at Huntingdon. Though carrying a penalty here, he drops down a grade and it’s difficult to see any of these stopping Kim Bailey’s charge from completing a quick-fire hat-trick. Flobury is 0-13 and woefully one-paced but will probably make the frame again and Benability may do better in first-time headgear reunited with Richard Johnson. Admiral Blake is back on a winning mark but hard to catch right.
