Verdict
Calliope was only fourth at Sedgefield off this mark after winning at Perth when Coral Blue was well beaten. Headscarf Lil beat Brickadank a length-and-a-quarter in this last year but is 7lb higher and BENITO has proved a consistent sort this year. Brian Hughes can steer him home in front having a first run for Lizzie Quinlan.
