Low-mileage 7-y-o who improved when third upped to 25f on handicap debut over hurdles at Warwick in May 2021. Below par since, including on chase debut when pulled up at Wincanton. Lots more is needed.

Forecasts

Future Benefits (2/1), Elleon (3/1), First Man (4/1), My Bad Lucy (15/2), Top Decision (8/1), Lough Salt (17/2), Jack Doyen (20/1), Famous Last Word (22/1)

FUTURE BENEFIT has taken well to this sphere and remains on a workable mark so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways after his very good Market Rasen second. First Man is feared most off a handy-looking mark now back chasing, with the in-form Elleon another who can't be taken lightly.
