BENNYS MIST, only beaten half-a-length when favourite over 2m4f at Chepstow last month, should stay the extra here and looks the pick of Venetia Williams' two runners ahead of Sawpit Samba. He is taken to finally get his head in front though Themanfromfraam made a highly satisfactory reappearance after a long break when only beaten a neck at Stratford and should strip fitter here. Drummers Drumming is hard to catch right but there may be more to come from Dunraven Prince, who is making his handicap debut in first-time blinkers. Winds And Waves was pulled up at Ludlow last time but this is a lesser contest.
