        Verdict

        BENANDONNER readily landed the odds in a seller at Leicester a week ago and comes out best at the weights again here. It's unlikely he'll find this as easy but should still have no problem dispatching today's opposition. The nearest to Mike Murphy's charge on today's terms are Amazing Star and Silenceofthewind and the former had the latter a couple of lengths behind when fourth at Thirsk last time. The remainder make no appeal under these terms though Carnival Dream has the best piece of recent form with a second at Redcar in April.
