FormscanBy Gary Carson - This could be a very informative race for the juvenile division this season. MIGHTY BANDIT has probably been the most impressive of the three-year-olds seen in Ireland so far this season and he can take the next step up the ladder. The Order Of St George gelding pulled clear in some style when scoring at Punchestown last month and unlike some of his rivals he didn't have experience from the Flat so there looks scope for plenty of improvement. Nurburgring has to carry a penalty here after his win over Kala Conti in Grade 3 company at Fairyhouse earlier in the month but has to be respected. Willie Mullins saddles five in the race and there aren't many clues on jockey bookings with Paul Townend in Kempton. Danny Mullins rides Jeu St Eloi filly Kargese, who was a Grade 3 winner over hurdles in France and she could be a big player.
