Formscan - BANDERAS is the least-exposed member in the field and, with cheekpieces applied for the first time, he could have lots more to give now he tackles a longer trip. However, this is deeper than the maiden he won here in May and there is a strong likelihood that the likes of Emiyn and Chase The Dollar, who have both proven to be effective here, will make this a good test for the selection. Matchless is also feared.
