Good to Yielding (Good, good to yielding in places after R2) (Good after R6) View all races

Formscan By Tom Weekes - BENAVENTE ran very well in a more competitive handicap over course and distance recently. An eye-catcher on career debut in a hot 2020 maiden, he has yet to place in six turf runs but is well suited to a mile and stayed on well late-on here recently, having raced keenly. He has dropped 2lb and this looks winneable. Cnodian got the rub of the green when rain arrived and the stalls were taken away at Limerick recently and while just 5lb higher, would prefer easy ground and has a largely exposed profile. Zero Fighter is an unexposed three-year-old but steps in in grade having won an ordinary Roscommon claimer last month. Fellow three-year-old Jim's Cracker stayed a mile as a juvenile and is probably best watched on reappearance at this same distance.
