Race preview
TOP BANDIT posted an encouraging third-placed effort on his hurdle debut at Limerick earlier this month. The son of Kayf Tara has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and he should be suited by this longer trip. Cirque Royal has displayed promise at Gowran Park and Perth and he looks to be the chief threat, while Cardano is an interesting candidate on his first start over obstacles after some promising displays on the Flat.
