Verdict
This looks open but TRUMPS BENEFIT has performed consistently well without winning since landing a fair handicap at Hexham in the spring. He is now on a mark just 3lb higher than when successful and is one of the more likely ones to run his race. Trip and ground look fine for him. Maasai Warrior pulled up when last seen in May but had previously looked an improved sort when scoring at Hexham and Chepstow. Something was presumably amiss on that latest run and he's one to keep onside here. Shareef Star may still be a little too high in the weights and the consistent Air Hair Lair looks a more solid proposition off a decent mark along with Galtee Mountain.
