    Verdict

    Mythical Charm can regain the winning thread at the expense of Benjamin and Robin Sharp. John Bridger's mare took a race at Kempton off a mark of 50 a couple of months ago and while she is plenty exposed over 1m 2f, it is worth noting that her better form tends to come at this distance although she does have invariable problems with tardiness at the start. Benjamin has chances if he is ridden under forceful tactics. There is unquestionably a race in him at this level provided that he is not taken on early for the lead. Robin Sharp was a fair sprint handicapper in his day albeit at Southwell. Tarkwa has shown nothing as yet in banded company while Un Autre Espere posted a 25/1 shock at Chepstow a few weeks ago followed by two duckeggs. Having considered the evidence we believe that Mythical Charm holds the best claims.
