Bennachie made a winning debut in July last year in soft ground at Southwell but MILLICENT SILVER has the more recent form with a victory at Warwick on last month's introduction. The Twiston-Davies mare is fancied to shrug off a penalty and go in again. Killshannon finished fourth in a point-to-point in November and makes his debut under the Rules while Beaufort Boy makes most appeal of the other newcomers as he cost 24,000 euros and is a half-brother to couple of National Hunt winners.
