        Verdict

        BENATO THE GREAT won his racecourse debut at Redcar before scoring with a bit in hand over C&D last month. David Nicholls' unbeaten gelding is worth sticking with here. He had Punching behind last time and that rival has since beaten Masked Dance and Harlech Castle at this track. The former can figure again, but there is a suspicion that Perlachy saves his best for the minimum trip at Wolverhampton these days and Silver Wind could prove a bigger threat dropping down a grade having been set a tough task here last time.
