Verdict

BENTHAM has been knocking on the door over fences this autumn and is selected to come good for the Gavin Cromwell team. Benefit Run would have gone close but for falling at the last at Sligo on his penultimate start and will be a threat if showing up in that sort of form. Gordon Elliott's The Abbey completes the shortlist.

  1. BENTHAM (IRE)
  2. BENEFIT RUN (IRE)
  3. THE ABBEY (IRE)
