Verdict

ASSASSINO didn't beat much at Fakenham nine days ago but the opposition here is equally uninspiring and the nine-year-old should further enhance an already decent win-to-run ratio. Stablemate Champtho hasn't run since falling at Horseheath in February while Benefit Game has been absent even longer and was a very modest sort over hurdles. Master T only beat one home at Penshurst last month and needs to find more to figure here.
