        Verdict

        This Group 2 contest revolves around Benbatl's return to the fray after a 337-day absence. The seven-year-old undoubtedly sets the form standard and he goes well fresh but he's taken on with CHINDIT. The Hannon colt has fallen just short of the very top level but has still performed with credit in finishing fifth in three successive Group 1 races and wasn't beaten far on each occasion. Duke Of Hazzard has a good record around here and could run well at a price while Happy Power ran well over course and distance last time at this level, though might have preferred a softer surface
