Modest gelding. C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2025. 10/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 15 days ago. Chance on old form but some of the others make more appeal on these terms.

Modest mare. Good neck second of 9 to Lion Ring in minor event (50/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 15 days ago. Now 5 lb better off with that rival but looks vulnerable all the same.

Forecasts

Sir Benedict (11/4), Fortunate Star (7/2), Lion Ring (9/2), Isla Bella (11/2), Desert Master (13/2), My Turn Now (8/1), Symbol of Hope (10/1), Optimistic (28/1)

Verdict

Though SIR BENEDICT was below par in the Wolverhampton classified event won by the re-opposing Lion Ring 15 days ago, he enjoys a 5 lb pull with that rival here and will have a serious chance with Jamie Spencer aboard if he puts his best foot forward. Fortunate Star should be competitive and is next on the list ahead of the aforementioned Lion Ring.

  1. Sir Benedict11/4
  2. Fortunate Star7/2
  3. Lion Ring9/2
