This galloping course should suit Benrajah's style of running and the six-year-old can continue on his upward curve with a clear round today. Of the rest: Mac Hine heads the list of dangers and will be a big threat if his jumping holds together, whist Arctic Lagoon and Vidi Ceasar cannot be ruled out of stealing a place as they both hail from stable's that are doing well at present. However, they both have a little to find on the balance of form, so Benrajah, who as one of the least exposed in the race, may be a little too progressive a rival to deal with on ground that will also benefit his high-need action.
