The final race of the day which can go the way of BENNY'S SECRET who after breaking his duck over fences here over 2m4f two starts ago followed that up with a fine second here over that same trip last month. He is still lightly raced over fences and so the step up in trip offers the possibility of more improvement. Similar comments apply to Diamond Rock who also steps up markedly in trip after going close over 2m at this track on his seasonal reappearance. The Charlie Longsdon stable tend to do well at this meeting, and despite the fact he has been out of form recently, Shanroe In Milan is respected.
