Bensachuine has been gradually improving and there was plenty to like about his run behind Golden Poet at Kilbeggan. Seaboard was beaten a long way when runner-up at Roscommon but that was on soft ground and his earlier runs in quicker going point to his chances here. The mare Mozilla has shown plenty of ability in similar company and her allowance will aid her cause but a chance is taken with LICKLIGHTER. He made a very promising debut over hurdles at Listowel last month so it's a surprise to see him in a bumper but he looked to have plenty of pace which can be put to good use here.
