George Benjamin won at Thirsk last month but never threatened off today's mark at Redcar last time, while C&D winner Khandaq scored at Wolverhampton recently and is upped in class. Frognal went close over track and trip in March and has clams, but MASTERSHIP is fancied to return to winning ways here. John Quinn's charge is 7lb lower than his last winning mark and he signalled a return to form with a respectable third at Doncaster on his latest start. Mujaadel and Not My Choice looks best of the rest.
