        Verdict

        Banditry is upped 6lb having beaten Dutch Uncle at Lingfield back in February but the latter has disappointed since. Innocent Touch was ahead of fellow course and distance winner Great Hall when third at Pontefract on his reappearance and is preferred to stablemate Dolphin Vista. The latter ran well in the Lincoln when finishing just in front of Eddystone Rock but SPEED COMPANY (NAP) makes most appeal. John Quinn’s charge bookended last season with wins at Newmarket on his seasonal debut and Doncaster in October and Ryan Moore was on board on both occasions. Brorocco is at home in this grade and may well improve for a recent comeback run at Chelmsford.
