Verdict

BENEFIT BEN looked all set to win again when crashing out two from home at Sedgefield a fortnight ago and might be able to gain compensation assuming that hasn't dented his confidence. Last-time-out winners Nights In Venice and Burgundy Man rate possible threats, while point scorer Gorvennec is one to keep an eye on in the betting switched to fences for his handicap debut.
