In depth
Verdict
Entertaining Ben carries 6lb extra after making all at Brighton last week. Sky Gypsy made every yard when scoring at Wolverhampton earlier and Magic Pulse showed plenty of early pace when landing a double at Southwell at the start of the year. But AGUEROOO finished runner-up over 6f here on his penultimate start and will be well placed to exploit a fast pace over today’s minimum trip. He gets the vote given Awesome Allan has been thereabouts on Turf of late but has had 15 starts on the all-weather without so far tasting success.
