      Verdict

      Benllech is taken to make a winning start to his career for Michael Wigham but better can be expected from No Time back at this venue and Louphole is also well worth considering. Sylvester Kirk dropped Benllech to claiming company and was duly rewarded with victory over course and distance ten days ago. He scored a shade cosily, is very well handicapped on his best form and can make it four wins from just nine starts on the all-weather. No Time has rarely run well at Kempton and his claims are better judged on two sound runs at the track in December but he has been creeping up the weights. Louphole appeals as a bigger danger following a highly encouraging start to the new year at Kempton and the return of Seb Sanders to the saddle (on board for four of his seven career wins) certainly bodes well for his chances but the revitalised Benllech is the call.
