Formscan - BANDELLO did little wrong when a close second over C&D in November and a similar performance on his reappearance may prove sufficient. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings for Jennie Candlish's inmate looks workable and he gets the nod over Bad Habits. The four-year-old may have found his latest fourth over 6f at Newcastle too sharp and he shouldn't be underestimated. The lightly-raced Paps Of Jura is worth a second look in the betting.
