Benny's Secret has recorded back-to-back victories at Kelso but may not be as effective on this sharper track. Man Look was in fair form prior to stepping out of his comfort zone at Cheltenham but needs decent ground. Jonny Delta loves it here and has slipped to a decent mark, though isn’t getting any younger. Eneko seems to need heavy going but, only a three-year-old, gets the weight-for-age allowance. Buckled stays further and has won around here but is another better on quicker going. ROMULUS DU DONJON beat a subsequent winner at Catterick and, though 7lb higher, still looks to be on a fair mark.
