Verdict

Winning point-to-pointer Benefit North disappointed when well supported at Ayr in January but may do better on this quicker ground. Kilbrew Gold hasn't had much experience but showed at Tramore last time that he should be winning a maiden before long while Count Simon looks best of Gordon Elliott's pair as the Haydock Flat winner will have come on for his hurdling debut at Leopardstown in December. CARO DES FLOS was beaten by Percy when long odds-on here in March and was then beaten in a Punchestown handicap but his overall form suggests he'll be the one to beat.
