Verdict

THE GREEN MAN is taken to make it 4-8 at this venue since joining Phil Kirby. Benacre had an excuse at Chelmsford last time and is likely to play a prominent role if bouncing back to the form he showed when narrowly denied over C&D last month. The shortlist is completed by Midnight's Dream, who may benefit from the drop back to 7f.
