Verdict

Bobcatbilly has a good strike rate but weakened quickly when tried in this grade at Ascot last time and eventually finished well behind the hard-pulling Mister Grez. Dan Skelton's charge may do best of that pair again but recent course and distance second Al Alfa makes more appeal and easy Wincanton winner Saint Raph also enters calculations. The consistent Granville Island, Simply Wings and Five Star Wilsham are others to consider while No Buts ran well for a long way in a Grade 3 at Cheltenham last time, though is probably a few pounds too high at present. BENNYS MIST was second in the Topham at Aintree last year off today's mark and recent rain is very much in his favour. He should give a good account as he led until two out in this last year when carrying 2lb more.
