Verdict

A chance is taken on Beneking, who edges the verdict over Im Over Ere Dad and Cabourg. The lightly weighted Night Wolf also makes some appeal and is worth noting in the betting. Night Wolf shaped as if he were about to hit form with a solid effort at Kempton last month. He would be a threat if he builds on that performance today. Cabourg is still a maiden after 17 previous attempts at getting off the mark. But he has also shaped as if his turn may finally be on the horizon. Each-way punters could do worse than consider his chances. Trainer Don Cantillon has obviously found the key to Im Over Ere Dad, as the gelding arrives here in the form of his life. However, a 5lb rise for his latest success makes his test a stiff one this afternoon. Therefore, we turn to Beneking, who, considering he was rated in the mid seventies when at his best, looks quite well treated from a mark of just 60 in this company.
