Verdict

With a second and a first from two previous runs around here, ALRIGHT BENNY looks the safest option in this. He was pulled up at Plumpton two runs ago but has otherwise proved consistent in this grade. Epee Celeste's form has always been hit-and-miss and she may just need this while Moneymix is only a plater, though was second off a higher mark on better ground at Plumpton last spring. Clara Peggotty fell on her only previous start over fences but still makes more appeal than the exposed Flichity.
