Verdict
Highest Benefit completed a track and trip double when landing this a year ago. He found an extended 3m1f too far at Punchestown last time and should make a bold bid with Trevor Ryan's claim a bonus. PRESENTING POINT gave notice of an imminent victory when runner-up at Thurles before making all for a convincing success over the track and trip. He's up 7lb but is on the upgrade and can defy the extra. It's Only A Number was beaten almost 9 lengths in that latter event but should get closer on the revised terms while Cadawill ran a bit better at Thurles last time though it's a long time since he won a race.
