Verdict
A potentially-informative maiden. On The Bandwagon has shown promise in two hurdle runs to date but looks a stayer in the making. Lakota Warrior can improve on his bumper form now going jumping but this looks a good starting point for GELINO BELLO (NAP), who finished four lengths ahead of Bill Baxter when third in a Listed bumper at Newbury in February which has already produced a couple of useful-looking hurdle winners. Doctor Ken and Douglas Talking are also bumper winners while Lounge Lizard was second at Haydock on debut and Ree Okka has won between the flags.
