Verdict

Absolutio is raised in class after winning over 6f here while Steelriver’s winning streak came to an end when upped to 7f here last time. Grandfather Tom was narrowly beaten at Yarmouth recently and can figure and stablemate Cowboy Soldier is back on a winning mark if back to his best but preference is for BENNY AND THE JETS. The latter has been competing in tougher sprints than this on Turf since scoring at Kempton in June and Oisin Murphy’s presence is another positive.
