Verdict

While this slight drop back in trip may not be entirely ideal, BENEVOLENT is appealing now making the switch to handicap company off what may prove to be a favourable opening mark. She stepped up on her previous efforts when sixth at Naas last month and is almost certainly capable of better. Shinkansen will be a threat if responding well to first-time blinkers and Hot Sunset also merits respect.
