If his Irish exertions have not taken too much out of him Benbaun can score here with Changari possibly the one to give him the most to do. The selection was only just denied at Naas four days ago in a Listed race. His trainer clearly feels that he has come out of that contest well and, with his rider taking three pounds off his back, he looks the one they all have to beat. Enchantment comes here in great heart following two successive wins, although he has four or five pounds to find on official ratings to score, as does Oro Verde, but Changari can be given a chance given that she finished fifth in a decent Listed race as a juvenile and will appreciate the drop to five furlongs today. The downside is that she has not raced for 282 days, although she did win at the first time of asking as a juvenile. Dallaah also showed a lot of promise on her first two runs as a two-year-old, although, ideally, she may need further than five furlongs in time. If applying official ratings then Incise is not without a chance either but, all things considered, we like the look of Benbaun.
