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 BENEDICT (IRE)
  2. FORTUNATE STAR (IRE)
  3. LION RING (IRE)
