7/2
Successful twice from 12 starts under rules so far. Finished a good second over 3m at Market Rasen (good) when making his chasing debut last month and shapes as if this step up in trip is likely to suit. One for the shortlist under top weight.

4/1
Victorious off a 6lb lower mark for previous stable at Ffos Las (soft) over 2m5f in November last year. Returning from a five month absence when last of ten at Aintree (good) last time and more needed here

10/3
Completed a double under today's rider when winning a three runner contest over an extended 3m6f at Exeter (good-to-firm) in April. Poor effort next time but returned to form when runner-up at Uttoxeter (good) last time and races off a 4lb higher mark here.

10/1
returning to form when finishing 14L third of eleven at Hexham (good) over 3m last time out. Steps up in trip here and likely to run well again here having won off much higher marks in the past.

12/1
Beaten ½L into second on his penultimate outing over this distance at Carlisle (good-to-soft) in April. Well held at Towcester subsequently but back down to his last winning mark for this.

8/1
Dual winner over 3m here but disappointing over an extended 2m4f at Bangor (good-to-soft) last month. Steps back up in trip here but remains on a mark 4lb higher than for his latest success.

9/2
finished runner-up over 3m at Warwick (good) last time out. Has been raised 4lb for that effort and likely to find things tougher off his revised mark.

Forecasts

Only Gorgeous (10/3), Beneficial Joe (7/2), Highway Storm (4/1), Kings Cross (9/2), Schindler's Prince (8/1), Phangio (8/1), Dursey Sound (10/1), Basford Ben (12/1)

Verdict

BENEFICIAL JOE can defy top weight by claiming this 3m2f handicap chase on just his second start over fences. The selection finished runner-up on his chasing debut last time and can get the better of Dursey Sound who is well handicapped on his best form while Phangio can claim third receiving weight from all of his rivals here.
  1. Beneficial Joe
  2. Dursey Sound
  3. Phangio
