None of these have won over the course or distance and HIGHEST BENEFIT has yet to win anywhere in 21 starts but went very close over 2m7f at Clonmel when just failing to hold off the in-form Luckyinmilan. That might just prove enough to go one better though Shanklys Dawn gained her first-ever success on her 25th start at Downpatrick and has only gone up 4lb. Dual hurdles winner Swift has shown nothing in four starts over fences and Leader's Choice is still a maiden after 16 starts and has looked no closer to winning while Lacken Bridge, three times a winner between the flags, has been well beaten in all three starts over regulation fences.
