Alright Benny makes a swift reappearance after winning a weak race at Plumpton on Monday. This is a little better but Paul Henderson's 11-year-old now has 7lb extra. That's The Deal likes it here and has a chance as long as the rains stay away but Unknown Legend remains frustrating to follow, as does Sir Lynx, while King Ozzy might need this. MIDNIGHT CHARMER won three times last season and made a satisfactory reappearance at Stratford. That will have blown away a few cobwebs and Emma Baker's charge is entitled to be in the firing-line in this.
