Jamie Osborne's stable has gradually started to creep back into form and the Lambourn handler cannot have failed but to have been impressed by the victory of MALIH in a maiden at Warwick. The former Peter Makin inmate made all, and having been campaigned in some decent races in the past, it's likely that his previous trainer had thought plenty of him. Benzanno boasts the best course form having finished a fair second at last week's meeting. He met some minor trouble in running and can be anticipated to have come on for that effort. Jumeirah Palm Star battled on well to pick up a recent prize at Kempton but of more interest could be Fresa. She was only sixth in that contest but she had been well backed on what was her seasonal reappearance.
