BANDIT COUNTRY failed to give the weight to Call Me Vic and Monbeg Theatre when odds-on at Warwick in December but that was no disgrace as the first two are useful. He may have more luck here though Hunters Hoof will be a danger having only gone down by a short-head on his second start at Doncaster. Gilnockie is also interesting having only found one too good at Newcastle and Ayr. The market will probably indicate what is expected of the five newcomers.
