Le Breull will probably prove hard to beat but it's possible he may not be fully tuned up for this so the value may lie with BENATAR who will no doubt find this easier than the Listed contest he tried last time and his yard has hit something of a purple patch in recent weeks. First Du Charmill should enjoy the step up in trip and may be able to grab a place. 1. Benatar 2. Le Breuil 3. First Du Charmil
