Produced a career best on first run since leaving Emmet Mullins when winning 20-runner handicap hurdle at Down Royal (16.8f, good to soft, 9/2) 15 days ago (second past the post but subsequently promoted). Much respected in follow-up bid up 7 lb.

Forecasts

Club Manager (15/8), Benjis Benefit (4/1), Champella (11/2), Dorans Law (6/1), All For Rachel (9/1), Hereditary Rule (16/1), Faux Fur (18/1), Johngus (18/1), Golden Sandbanks (25/1), Tucson Train (28/1), Ragin Cajun (40/1)

Verdict

BENJIS BENEFIT was much improved when landing a 20-runner handicap on his first start for his current yard at Down Royal 15 days ago (later awarded race having suffered interference run-in) and a 7 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up. Club Manager wasn't ideally placed at this course on his most recent outing and remains capable of better, with Johngus heading up the remainder.
