Verdict

TRACTOR FRED and Benechenko are maidens under rules, but both arrive in fine form and the former was denied by the narrowest of margins at Plumpton last time. He jumped better than previously at the Sussex venue, and can score if again avoiding mistakes. Dontdelay ran well over hurdles last time, and won over further at Hexham prior to that, so is also worth considering having not gone up much in the weights.
