Verdict

Bennys Well is penalised for last week's all-the-way success at Carlisle where he jumped very well. Jonathan England will probably attempt a repeat but his mount has never won from a mark this high. GOODTOKNOW last won a race on this track just over a year ago though he hasn't had much racing subsequently. He was attempting to concede Take The Mick 13lb when runner-up at Warwick and though beaten a long way that looks good enough for this. Achimota blundered his chance away at Doncaster after scoring there earlier while Tarraco has been taking on much better company since an easy victory at Ffos Las. Midnight Charmer has won six races over fences, all of them in a class below this.
