11/4
Progressing well, finishing second in a Ripon listed race before relishing the step up to 7f to score in similar company at Doncaster last month. Very testing ground an unknown but he has the best form and is the one to beat with further progress likely.

Made it 3-3 over 6f when seeing off 5 rivals in a Salisbury conditions race 23 days ago. Second win came on heavy. Likely to stay 7f and capable of even better.

Doncaster novice winner in July but came up short when stepped up to listed company there 2 months later, finishing 4¼ lengths fifth of 7 to the reopposing Benevento.

5/1
11/2, won 7-runner C&D (soft) on debut 35 days ago, pushed out. Won't be fazed by these conditions and rates a likely improver for a yard having a good year with 2-y-os.

8/1
Well held on 6f course debut in May but different proposition back from a break this autumn, winning over 7f on soft ground at Brighton and York. Posted a useful effort in a valuable event at the latter track and likely has even more to offer.

Bath maiden winner in the spring. Useful form at Group 2 level since, latterly 2½ lengths fourth of 6 to Powerful Glory in Mill Reef here (6f, soft) 5 weeks ago. 7f is worth a go.

9/4
Fourth win of his career when easily seeing off 5 rivals in a 7f Chantilly listed event on heavy ground 14 days ago. Looks the chief threat to Benevento.

Forecasts

Yaroogh (9/4), Benevento (11/4), Make You Smile (5/1), Mirabeau (8/1), Bob Mali (17/2), Star Anthem (16/1), Afentiko (16/1), God Of War (16/1), Panama Black (100/1)

Verdict

If BENEVENTO copes with the ground he'll be a tough nut to crack. The conditions won't faze recent French listed winner Yaroogh and he's second choice ahead of the unbeaten Bob Mali.
