      Verdict

      Benbatl comes out best at the weights and has won off an absence before. But soft going is a worry for the Godolphin representative and the same can be said of Regal Reality. The latter has done most of his winning on fast going, including a recent success in Group 3 company at Salisbury with Positive back in third and a disappointing Duke Of Hazzard tailed off. The latter won this on good going last year but all ground comes alike to CENTURY DREAM (NAP), beaten in a Group 1 in France last time but at his best when winning a Group 3 at Newbury before that. The Crisfords' charge looks worth another chance with both Sir Busker and Urban Icon having something to prove at this level.
