Verdict

Several professional stables have runners in this. Collateral form gives Sir Jack Yeats, the winner of this in 2019, the beating of Mister Whitaker and he had Gaboriot behind when runner-up to Secret Investor at Kelso. But a spell hunting seems to have rejuvenated BENNYS KING and he was still in front at Haydock last month when unseating Heidi Palin having won earlier at Hereford. Rebel Dawn Rising may need this but looks the pick of the remainder.
