BENIN took a step forward when sent off favourite though caught close home at Redcar last month. He should make no mistake this time. Beverage looks the only threat of the others with racecourse experience having finished second on the Turf at Lingfield last time though Accrington Stanley may finish closer after debuting at Newmarket. Sadiqaa is a half-brother to three winners while Roydmoor is related to his yard’s decent sprinter Red Balloons and Jadwal is another newcomer to note.
