BENBECULA gave Johnny Murtagh hs first winner as a trainer at Tramore earlier this month when the fast ground suited him admirably. He still looks well enough handicapped despite his big weight and can go in again. Something Graceful ran very well in a tough Naas handicap when Fairylike was behind and looks sure to be winning again soon but Mutiska probably needs softer ground and a greater test of stamina. Whatever It Takes landed a handicap at Dundalk in April but has to race from a 9lb higher mark on Turf.
