FormscanBy Michael Graham - BENJIS BENEFIT's fifth place in a higher grade at Punchestown in May reads well in the context of this race. The top weight gets first-time cheekpieces and can make his presence felt. Breagagh is a long-standing maiden but, if he reproduces his Wexford effort in May, he would have every chance of getting off the mark. He was just collared close home and went down by a neck and has been freshened up since then. Kilbride Hill's introduction to handicapping couldn't have gone better as he won at this venue just under a fortnight ago. He should be in contention off 7lb higher. Verbal Sparring, who won at this track on his penultimate start, is another to consider.
