| | The Scotsman - Sport - Racing - Bandari sets out to prove Classic form (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | FUTURE Derby winners don’t, as a rule, use a little novice stakes race at Ayr as part of their build up to Epsom, but you can’t have a rule without having an exception and, in this case, perhaps Bandari is it. |
 | | The signposts are likely to point in just one direction, however, should Bandari notch up yet another success at Lingfield this afternoon, when he’ll be bidding to continue the remarkable run Johnston has enjoyed in the so-called Derby trials in recent weeks. |
 | | One fly in the ointment though is that Johnston is on record as saying that the son of Alhaarth is neither the most straightforward of characters nor the most predictable, as demonstrated perhaps by that Sandown performance he turned in during his younger days. |
