Verdict
Itstimeforapint should be fully primed now after his latest third at Wetherby and can go close, despite top weight. But Donapollo, Champagne Agent, Notonebuttwo and Gibbstown were all pulled up on their latest start while Drumlister has been absent since failing to justify favouritism at Cartmel in June. BENEFIT IN KIND beat the one-paced Shady Sadie by 20 lengths in this 12 months ago and can come out on top again, despite a 9lb higher mark.
