Top Draw is preferred to Benedetto with Joy And Pain and Hucking Harness others to consider. Michael Bell's charge was a shade disappointing on the face of things on her latest start but it may be worth excusing her that run. The return to racing on polytrack should suit her whilst she's well berthed to make a bold bid from the front and has a useful apprentice aboard whose 5lb claim could be invaluable. She was behind Benedetto over course and distance in March but meets that rival on 4lb better terms before her rider's claim is taken into account. Amanda Perrett's charge merits consideration but needs to improve to defy his revised mark which has proved beyond him in the past. Joy And Pain should fare better with a run under his belt and for being reunited with Ian Mongan but has work to do from his draw whilst Hucking Harness has shown promise and is of interest on his handicap bow. However, Top Draw has solid claims and gets the vote.
