Forecasts

The Romford Pele (4/1), Benbens (6/1), Gas Line Boy (6/1), Theatrical Star (8/1), Potters Cross (9/1), Masters Hill (11/1), Bob Tucker (12/1), Astracad (12/1), Cloudy Too (14/1), Baileys Concerto (16/1), Call Me Vic (20/1), Shuil Royale (20/1), No Planning (25/1), Mister First (33/1), Katkeau (40/1), Alderbrook Lad (66/1)

Verdict

BENBENS was lightly raced last season but is well handicapped on his form of 2015 and can make a winning seasonal debut by getting the better of Astracad in this veterans chase. The selection won this off a 2lb higher mark two years ago and has a useful amateur rider in the plate today while his stablemate has dropped to a useful mark also. Shuil Royale took this last year and off a 2lb lower mark today he is taken to claim third.
