Verdict

John Wade runs both Love That Benny and Red Cedar, both should be in the thick of the action, but we will side with the first named, Beamish Prince is also expected to run well. The selection was rated in the mid-eighties on the level and is steadily getting the hang of this game. He was the only one to make a race of it with Jorabaden last time, and he looks set to go one better this afternoon. Red Cedar was a decent performer on the flat in Ireland a couple of years ago and will have been well schooled for his hurdles debut, watch for any significant market moves. Meanwhile Beamish Prince has to be considered a real danger having been successful twice already this season. Terlan is another with the form to get involved here, but Love That Benny is less exposed than most of these and can land first prize
