Formscan  - BENEFIT BEN's last success came in a first-time visor at Sedgefield in February when proving too strong for the opposition. The seven-year-old has run with credit since, finishing runner-up on consecutive days back at Sedgefield and Musselburgh, and the change of headgear to blinkers might yield more improvement. Show No Fear is a player off a 4lb higher mark than last month's win at Carlisle. He enters calculations along with Cage Rattler and The Three J's.
