Verdict

A competitive, if somewhat low grade start to the evening and Mark Brisbourne looks to have found the ideal opening for Ben Hur, who can prove too strong for the likes of Amamus, and handicap debutante Keshena Falls. The selection has been knocking on the door of late, in better contests than this, and if handling the surface can lose his maiden tag. From a stable that has fired in six winners in the past fortnight, the yard could not be in better form. Keshena Falls showed a little ability behind Harrison Point and Tip The Dip at Windsor last month, but with the winner that day failing miserably, when well backed at Nottingham and the runner-up making hard work of landing the odds at the same venue, the form doesn't amount to much. However, this won't take much winning and she looks to have been given every chance off her mark of 60, which is nothing more than a platers mark. Amamus looks to have something to prove after flopping last time, but she can't be left out of calculations at this level, while Smart Predator's half-brother Smart Minister, clearly stays much better than his relative, albeit slolwly. So, in what is a weak contest Ben Hur is taken to continue the sparkling form of the Brisbourne camp.
