Banderas
Won a Southwell maiden hurdle (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and a Carlisle Flat handicap (2m1f, soft) last summer, but handicap hurdle debut in September was too bad to be true; however, he made a promising return here over 2m 17 days ago when shaping as though he'd improve for the outing; interesting back up in trip.

From the connections
“Banderas is a nice stayer for the future. He has a great temperament and a nice pedigree. There's a lot to like about him. He wants cut in the ground. We wouldn't run him on good to firm - Michael Bell, trainer.”
