What's everyone's thoughts on Banbridge for the King George?

I think he's an outstanding each way bet.
If you could be sure of good/good to soft then I agree he's an outstanding bet, he looks sure to show up all things being equal when many of the leading Irish fancies aren't, Romeo Coolio maybe the exception but he hasn't proved himself over 3m yet so has questions to answer.
My only interest in the race is Lulamba but he too has plenty of questions to answer, and the biggest I have him at is 12/1, so at 25s I really should be climbing into Banbridge....

Am I right in saying both Lulamba and Romeo unlikely to turn up ?

Re Alexei.....

When you think back to Ascot in that big handicap, he was a close 3rd off 12 stone trying to give the winner Wilful nearly a stone and the 2nd Hot Fuss nearly 2 stone. Wilful went on to win the County and has won again this season in a hot race and Hot Fuss ran a superb 2nd in the Pipe.

Not many horses put up that performance in a Handicap off that weight.
 
I've not heard that but been away for a few days so could easily have missed something...
Hendo on Lulamba...

"He's a year younger than Jango Baie and at the age of five it might all be a bit of a rush with him. I do think he's going to be a three-miler but maybe this won't be the season to be doing that."

And this was said about a month after he said Lulamba could fill the void left by Jango Baie's absence.
Hard to take him seriously these days...
