BENBENS was lightly raced last season but is well handicapped on his form of 2015 and can make a winning seasonal debut by getting the better of Astracad in this veterans chase. The selection won this off a 2lb higher mark two years ago and has a useful amateur rider in the plate today while his stablemate has dropped to a useful mark also. Shuil Royale took this last year and off a 2lb lower mark today he is taken to claim third.
