    Verdict

    BENANDONNER has had 11 starts since he raced over a trip this short but still has plenty of pace and official ratings suggest he will be very difficult to beat. All three of Alpha Tauri's career victories have come on Fibresand at Southwell but he's only had two starts on Polytrack and there's no doubt he's improving. He had Unlimited a long way behind in a seller last time but the latter showed that he is much better on this surface when easily landing a C&D seller just over a week ago. Tourist was in good form at the beginning of last year but struggled at the weights subsequently and has been in poor form recently.
