Verdict

A cracking little contest and BENNY BE GOOD is taken to augment his already outstanding track record. Four wins and two places have been claimed from six outings here and it's hard to find a reason why Hollo Ladies should reverse placings from when the pair met here last time. Indeed, Benny Be Good looked better than ever and he can also repel the challenges of Film Festival and Sir Tantallus Hawk who fought out a stirring finish at Doncaster earlier in the campaign. There should be little between them again, whilst Monsieur Jourdian posted an improved effort when scoring at Kelso over the weekend.
