Verdict
Rumbury Grey has won twice at Leicester recently but has to concede 8lb and upwards to his rivals here, which won't be easy. BENEDICTUS was a very easy winner between the flags at Buckfastleigh 11 days ago and looks a nice prospect. He can make a winning start under Rules with Openditch, a winner of a bumper and a hurdle in his younger days and left clear at Howick last time, possibly the pick of the remainder. Dunshane was second at Stratford earlier this month but this looks a bit more competitive.
