In depth
Verdict
Benenden has had a break since winning at Southwell in June and returns off a 5lb higher mark. BAYSBROWN has the more recent form with a success at Perth in amateur company and Nicky Richards’ charge may prove good enough in this. Jovial Joey has been threatening to score before a poor comeback run at Sedgefield while Bourne is 9lb higher than when winning at Bangor during the summer. Landecker should be sharper for a recent outing at Perth when Maraweh was also well beaten though both drop in class for this.
