A prolific winning hurdler, MARIA’S BENEFIT just edges this at the weights having made a winning start over fences at Newton Abbot on last month’s reappearance - she looks worth sticking with ahead of Jester Jet. The latter has every chance on these terms after finding one too good at Ffos Las on her recent chasing debut despite being less than fluent and is preferred to Miss Night Owl and chasing newcomer All Currencies. King's Reste has won over fences but has a stack to find at the weights as does Lostnfound.
All Currencies (IRE) 9-2 (11-2) Never travelled in rear, plugged on in 5th after 3 out, no chance when blundered last, never on terms, 7th of 10, 30 1/2l behind Midnight Tune (11-2) at Sandown 2m 4f (1) hvy in Feb.
Jester Jet 8-1 (10-10) Held up, headway on inside 12th, mistake 3 out, soon chasing winner, no impression, 2nd of 9, 2l behind Bags Groove (11-3) at Ffos Las 2m 5f (3) gs in Oct.

Lostnfound 25-1 (11-0) Held up in touch, weakened from 2 out, 6th of 12, dist behind Black Sam Bella (11-1) at Uttoxeter 2m 7f hcp (3) gd in May.
Maria's Benefit (IRE) 5-6fav (10-7) Led to 3rd, tracked leader, led again after 7th, made rest, drew clear before 2 out, unchallenged when ridden between last 2, very easily, won at Newton Abbot 2m (3) hvy in Oct beating Mont Des Avaloirs (11-0) by 9l, 3 ran.
Miss Night Owl 9-1 (10-5) Dispute lead to 2nd, chased clear leader (winner), lost 2nd 4 out, soon driven and outpaced, stayed on to regain modest 2nd before last, no chance with easy winner, 2nd of 5, 23l behind Diakali (11-4) at Newton Abbot 2m (3) gd in Jun.
