SINGING BANJO has enjoyed a productive season in Cross Country events and has picked up a handicap along the way. He still looks potentially thrown in returned to this sphere, so he's the obvious choice to land the spoils in an otherwise open race. Lady McCabe scored in good style at Wexford earlier this month, so she looks the best alternative ahead of Four Horsemen.
