GORDON BENNETT looked progressive prior to an excusable run at Navan last time so, back at a suitable trip, he's fancied to resume winning ways provided the pace is strong enough. The others look more exposed but Parkers Hill, who scored over C&D off a higher mark last year, is likely to put up a bold showing, while Trueba is of interest back down in grade.
