Kap Auteuil has switched yards since finishing runner-up at Huntingdon back in April while Benson could finish closer with last month’s comeback under his belt and having his second start after a wind operation. Jetaway Joey is a brother to bumper/hurdles winner Getaway John and preferred to He's A Legend but a chance is taken on another newcomer in MOUNTAIN LEOPARD, a half-brother to a couple of winners including the smart Beacon Edge, placed in this year’s Champion Bumper at Punchestown and a subsequent winner over hurdles.
