A very difficult race to end the card and a narrow vote is given to Lester Leaps In, James Street and Benbrook are just two of many dangers. The selection never got into the race here last time and in the end was eased down to finish well beaten. However he is better judged on his previous effort at Kempton when chasing home Dear Gracie over this trip. A similar effort in today's company could be good enough. James Street has experience of this surface, running well here over the six furlong trip last year. He recent effort at Pontefract over a mile wasn't too bad but the extra distance is a bit of a concern. Benbrook is making his all-weather debut but has been in great form on the turf. He comes out pretty close to the selection on Leicester running in July and he should be in the shake up. Ballybeg and High Octave are others in with a squeak and so it may be best to tread carefully, but we suggest Lester Leaps In as the likely winner.
