Verdict
Despite only finishing fifth on his debut at Wincanton in March, Somerset Jem wasn't beaten far and could figure here if fully wound-up. Time And Again was an improved third at Taunton four weeks ago, despite pulling too hard, but Gabriel Oats didn't show much on his debut at Ludlow. DEXTER BENJAMIN is by Milan out of a Presenting mare who won a maiden hurdle. He might need further than this in time but the ground should bring his stamina into play so he can make a winning start.
