Verdict
This won’t take much winning and Courtland has been showing improved for in bumpers over the summer and makes more appeal than Dens Delight. BENSON was highly tried after winning a Market Rasen bumper in November of last year. He needs to brush up his jumping but could have too much class for these if completing without mishap. The Gold Bug is a full brother to the useful Severano so is worth a market check.
