Benny In Milan drops back in distance having won at Southwell last month but can race off a lower mark back on these shores while Bay Hill has placed since scoring at Listowel in September. Lucky Phil makes her handicap debut and could figure while Cap'n scored over fences back in March and can race off a 3lb lower mark back over timber. But TOOR GENERAL shrugged off a 6lb rise for winning at Roscommon to win again at Fairyhouse last month and Tony Martin’s charge may well be capable of defying another rise in the weights.
