Verdict

BENSON's jumping is a slight concern but this is a significant drop in class for him having contested listed/Grade 2 events on his first 2 hurdle starts in February and this useful bumper winner could be a cut above this opposition. Fellow bumper scorer Courtland could be a threat, while Olly Murphy's Dens Delight also offered enough in bumpers to suggest he can make an impact over hurdles.
