Verdict

Competitive fare with top weight BENJIS BENEFIT given the narrow vote. Deservedly awarded a race in this sphere back in the spring, he leaves the impression there could be more to come in this sphere and arriving fit from the Flat, he could be the way to go. Rockview Roman is another of interest returned to hurdling. Handicap debutant Leading Lion and in-form pair Kilbride Hill and Breagagh complete the dangers.

  1. BENJIS BENEFIT (IRE)
  2. ROCKVIEW ROMAN (IRE)
  3. LEADING LION (IRE)
