Luke's Benefit has won nine times in a career that started in 2009 and completed a hat-trick in the middle of last season. He's been gradually slipping in the ratings and could have one last hurrah in him. Akinspirit only has one less victory to his credit though he's never won over fences and hasn't won a race of any description since 2012. Willow Grange is still a maiden but is still a youngster in chasing terms and should have some improvement in him. ROLLING ROCKET and West Council weren't separated by far when occupying the places behind The Parishioner at Navan. The former can confirm the form and land this, though both appeared suited to the testing ground and wouldn't want conditions to dry out. Killtilane Rose is still a maiden after 35 career starts.
