ILANZ found another chunk of improvement to double his tally over timber at Taunton last month and with further progress on the cards, he's fancied to defy a 12 lb hike in the weights and complete the hat-trick. Benson has filled the runner-up spot on all 3 starts for this yard so far and he may have to settle for silver once again, ahead of Holmes St Georges and Findthetime.
