Verdict
Cwm Rhondda needs a check in the betting on her handicap debut now stepped up in trip, however a safer option may be Benhego who gets the vote over Bruki and Red Lily. The selection impressed when winning over this course and distance two starts back. He tracked the leaders on that occasion but next time up when well-behind Askar Tau he was held up off the pace and never threatened. If the market signs are positive and he is ridden more aggressively, he may be able to return to winning ways. Red Lily has a lot of weight to carry but has been keeping her form well, whilst Bruki is another who has been filling the places of late and needs to improve to get his head in-front. Chiff Chaff is a course winner but that came over further and his best runs have been on a quicker surface so he wouldn't want any rain. A tough finale for punters, with the vote going to Benhego.
