Benny In Milan won at Fontwell last summer and Denis Hogan sends him over from Ireland again off the back of a run at the Galway Festival. He shouldn’t be ignored and neither should the returning Ebonys Encore, who has had a wind operation since last seen. John Quinn’s runners here are always worth a second look and Cosmic Tigress is back on a winning mark but May’s Market Rasen scorer BARON VON CHILL can pick up the winning thread again despite a couple of subsequent reverses at Ffos Las.
