Bennelong has won two of his last three starts including his latest outing at Wolverhampton. However, he's just as likely to throw the towel in as win and ROSCO FLYER looks a more solid option. The latter is now 8lb lower than the last time he won and bounced back to form when going close at this track recently. A return to winning ways looks on the cards for Roger Teal's charge. Megalala and Colinca's Lad have both won three times on the turf this season but have yet to prove as good on Polytrack and the same can be said of recent Redcar winner Phluke, whose only win on this surface was back in 2005.
